acl support for NetBSD

[ThomasWaldmann]

borgbackup already has ACL support for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.

It seems like OpenBSD and FreeBSD have acl support, too:
https://github.com/grke/burp/blob/11cd1c9f03e4d19d221d00bcb39c831b23ce57ad/src/client/acl.c

So, is this a missing feature for borgbackup? Anybody using ACLs on OpenBSD or NetBSD?

This needs somebody familiar with these systems to help implementing and testing, so speak up if you want to help!

i think this is basically filesystem-specific: we're going to have similar issues with NTFS, HFS (Mac) and so on. one would hope that the acl module we're using would handle all those use-cases, no?

[ThomasWaldmann]

yes, for windows/cygwin there is no acl support either yet.

Solaris and OpenIndiana -> #1337

OpenBSD has no ACL support.

#if defined(HAVE_LINUX_OS) || \
    defined(HAVE_FREEBSD_OS) || \
    defined(HAVE_OPENBSD_OS) || \
    defined(HAVE_NETBSD_OS)
#include "sys/acl.h"

If that's supposed to be a platform header then it won't compile on OpenBSD. There is no such header.

Edit: And indeed, OpenBSD was removed from this list in all instances in Burp in Dec 2015 after a bug report. rubenk/burp@8bcd213

NetBSD IMHO supports no ACLs at this time. It has the FreeBSD syscalls in the fbsd compat layer (so code using these runs, but doesn't do anything), but these are not implemented (ENOSYS).
