Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
We've had sys-auth/elogind available in Gentoo repo for quite a while now, and |
4 |
it seems to work fine for many people, as Plasma, Cinnamon, and the recently |
5 |
added Gnome support have shown. In the last few days, elogind support was also |
6 |
brought to MATE and Xfce. |
7 |
|
8 |
Meanwhile, sys-auth/consolekit is showing its age, with the upstream |
9 |
repository not touched in more than a year. At least for Plasma and SDDM I am |
10 |
aware of several paper cuts with it, that simply no one is bothering to fix for |
11 |
years, and it makes us depend on sys-power/pm-utils - which is really dead - |
12 |
for suspend. Combine that with the ^^ ( elogind systemd ) requirement in |
13 |
Cinnamon and Gnome, and it should be obvious that elogind is becoming the |
14 |
better default setting. |
15 |
|
16 |
Also, with that change we can really start to think about xorg-server[-suid] |
17 |
default (again). |

Here's the original elogind integration tracker: |

21 |
|
22 |
A new tracker has been set up for +elogind revdep stabilisation: |
23 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=elogind-default |
24 |
|
25 |
So now is the time for maintainers of packages depending on sys-auth/ |
26 |
consolekit to check for any work to do, and test migration. |

Best regards, |
