35 pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,
36 with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,
37 FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform
38 implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that
39 Solaris does, but I can't test it.
41 - Python 3.4 or newer. Python 2.4+ was supported in the 0.5.x branch.
43 - Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer, and the libacl library and
44 development packages (all modern distributions should have this,
45 under various names); also the file-systems you use must have
46 ACLs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.
47 - FreeBSD 7.0 or newer.
48 - The sphinx python module, for your python version, if building the
54 Note that on FreeBSD, ACLs are not enabled by default (at least on UFS
55 file systems). To enable them, run `tunefs -a enabled` on the file
56 system in question (after mounting it read-only). Then install:
58 - `pkg install py36-setuptools py36-sphinx`
62 - `pkg install py37-setuptools`
