Kamil, could you propose some reproducer for this RFE? I am using strace to get acl of a link target, but there is no difference between old and new version. I am sure, that there is a more reliable way to trigger this new function call. Is it?
Ondrej, what are you stracing actually? ls -l? Then you need to use a new enough version of coreutils (as for RHEL-6, it means coreutils-8.4-14.el6 or newer). Some hints for testing are also in Bodhi since we have already successfully tested the same change in the Fedora acl package: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/acl-2.2.49-9.fc14
Actually, the coreutils-8.4-14.el6 is not new enough as it was built against an old version of libacl. We will need to rebuild coreutils against libacl-devel >= 2.2.49-6: checking for acl_extended_file... yes checking for acl_extended_file_nofollow... no If you need to test the acl package now, please use coreutils from Fedora 16, rawhide, or upstream.
