Subject: [Acl-Devel] Version 0.7.2 released

Hello all,

the latest release includes quite a couple of small improvements. The most
important bug fixed is in the 2.2 kernel patch: ACL support for UNIX
domain sockets on ext2 has been forgotten. This is now fixed; the 2.4
patch didn't have that problem. As long as you don't need this rather
obscure feature, there is no immediate need to upgrade.

I assume it's pretty save to enable the extended attribute block sharing
kernel option (CONFIG_EXT2_FS_EXT_ATTR_SHARING) even on production systems
as I haven't experienced, or heard of, any troubles with it.

These are the changes:

2.2.17 kernel:
* ACLs for UNIX domain sockets have been forgotten. Added.

2.4.0test11 kernel:
* The patch has been updated to support the latest official
  kernel version.

Both kernel patches:
* The ACL functions have been moved from the VFS to Ext2. This
  is to make the patch interfere less with the VFS.

ACL utilities:
* The functionality of the showacl script has been integrated
  into getfacl. See the `--tabular' command line option.
* Long command line options have been added. Some non-standard
  command line options are now only available as long options.

Fileutils patch:
* The fileutils patch has been updated to version 4.0.32 (which
  is available at <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/>).


Regards,
Andreas.
