16Requirements
17------------
18
19pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,
20with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,
21FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform
22implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that
23Solaris does, but I can't test it.
24
25- Python 2.4 or newer
26- operating system:
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
