Hi Jim, Eric, et al.,
The ACL support code for AIX 5 currently has just #if 0 stubs. On 2008-12-07,
I wrote some work-in-progress code for AIX 5 ACLs (function aclx_get etc.).
The code is not finished. IIRC, the test suite does not pass.
Unfortunately I cannot continue working on this code (*). But someone else
may find it a good starting point for completing this support. Should I
a) put into gnulib, surrounded with #if 0?
b) put the code on a separate branch in gnulib?
c) keep it only for myself?
I would prefer a), so the code does not escape the attention of whoever
wants to continue and does not bitrot as quickly. But it goes against the
principle of committing only working code. What do you think?
Bruno
(*) For legal reasons, I cannot contribute to gnulib any code any more
that requires me to look at AIX documentation. Someone else will have
to jump in when users have AIX specific questions.
