19 pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,
20 with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,
21 FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform
22 implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that
23 Solaris does, but I can't test it.
25 - Python 2.7 or newer.
27 - Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer, and the libacl library and
28 development packages (all modern distributions should have this,
29 under various names); also the file-systems you use must have
30 ACLs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.
31 - FreeBSD 7.0 or newer.
32 - The sphinx python module, for your python version, if building the
35 Note: to build from source, by default, Python 3 is needed. It can
36 still be built with Python 2, by calling `make PYTHON=python2`.
41 Note that on FreeBSD, ACLs are not enabled by default (at least on UFS
42 file systems). To enable them, run `tunefs -a enabled` on the file
43 system in question (after mounting it read-only). Then install:
45 - pkg install py36-setuptools py36-sphinx
49 - pkg install py37-setuptools
