I tried to convert mock to use pkexec. Here it is: https://github.com/xsuchy/mock-1/commit/4276ef488ac2d134504173d88a8a58fc0a232eaf However I experienced several issues, which I am unable to resolve due the lack of documentation around pkexec. Maybe somebody will know: * it seems that it works only in GUI. In plain VT (without display manager) I get polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie and followed by "Not authorized" * in GUI I am able to proceed, but the code will stop at: https://github.com/xsuchy/mock-1/blob/devel/py/mock.py#L543 because neither SUDO_UID nor USERHELPER_UID. Is there any way to recognize that I'm running inside of pkexec and that I'm able to drop privileges? -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer, #brno, #devexp, #fedora-buildsys _______________________________________________ buildsys mailing list -- buildsys@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to buildsys-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
