Package: libacl1
Version: 2.2.47-2
Followup-For: Bug #290874

Hi,

Has any further progress been made on merging NFSv4 ACL support into
libacl?

Nowadays, the Solaris acl interface supports both POSIX.1e draft and
NFSv4 ACLs.  It would be great to have this support on Linux as well.

Note that the underlying filesystem need not support NFSv4 ACLs natively,
since it is possible to map NFSv4 to POSIX and back, since NFSv4 ACLs
are a superset of the POSIX draft facilities.

I'm currently implementing a protocol which requires NFSv4 support, and
it would be preferable to have this support in libacl rather than having
to redundantly implement the NFSv4<->POSIX draft mapping redundantly.


Regards,
Roger
