We have actually 3 polkit agent implementations in Portage: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
gnome-extra/polkit-gnome |
| 4 |
lxde-base/lxpolkit |
| 5 |
sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I guess a virtual is required. |
| 8 |
Just a simple example, gnome-extra/nm-applet requires a polkit auth |
| 9 |
agent (not present in RDEPEND atm -- bug!) in order to handle wifi |
| 10 |
passwords, etc. |
| 11 |
But the same applet can be used in both GNOME and LXDE, making |
| 12 |
lxpolkit a better choice over polkit-gnome for the latter. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
My proposal is to create a virtual pkg listing all the polkit auth |
| 15 |
agent implementations and make pkgs depend on it. |
