Code review comment for lp:~raphink/byobu/acl

Hi Rafael-

First of all, thanks a bunch for the branch. I think it's a great idea to expose and make screen sharing easier for Byobu users.

As for the implementation, I'm not sure putting all of this into byobu-config is the best way to go about it. Let's discuss it a little. (I'm just now getting Lucid behind me, and opening the byobu tree for Maverick).

What do you think about creating two new utilities, /usr/bin/byobu-share and /usr/bin/byobu-unshare, that toggle the acl's on and off?

Perhaps byobu-share takes a whitespace list of users to share with. The assumption (if unspecified) is read-only. Or the user can add --rw to share in read-write mode.

I suggest that we get byobu-share and byobu-unshare working well first, and once we're satisfied with it (and the surround security concerns), then we add a menu option that just calls these external utilities.

As an Ubuntu developer, I'm a little concerned that the security team might not like such a package in Ubuntu Main (but I'll try to deal with that separately from Byobu as an upstream project).

What do you think? Would you be willing to separate this functionality into two separate scripts (either shell or python is fine) that does this?
