POSIX ACLs for Python

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.2

Notes:
This release adds full support for POSIX.1e ACLs, on systems which supports it. Right now, that's Linux 2.4. FreeBSD 5.0 will have it, when released. I don't have access to other platforms.

The full support means being able to alter the acls after creating them. See the documentation (installed in /usr/share/pylibacl-0.2/) for details about how to use the module. I thing the docs are clear enough, if not, email me.
