/me points to XFCE that will *not* be removing ConsoleKit support, or |
| 19 |
require systemd |
| 20 |
(however I'm going to append systemd support to 4.10, but the patches |
| 21 |
currently available are sub-par and none in upstream git yet) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
does anyone know if Cinnamon, MATE, or whatever GNOME forks there are |
| 24 |
will keep ConsoleKit support or not? |
| 25 |
i'm not volunteering but I never really got why our GNOME maintainers |
| 26 |
insisted on staying with it instead of going with the distribution after |
| 27 |
it was clear logind is a dead end on non-systemd systemd |
