Package: kodi-data Version: 2:19.4+dfsg2-2 Severity: wishlist User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: pkla-without-js
kodi-data currently ships an example polkit 0.105 configuration fragment at /usr/share/kodi/addons/service.xbmc.versioncheck/resources/polkit/10-allow-update.pkla, but does not seem to have a polkit >= 0.106 equivalent. I'm reporting this at wishlist level since it's only an example file and not something that is used in production by default. Newer upstream versions of polkit use a JavaScript-based policy rules syntax. The equivalent of /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/*.pkla for local sysadmin configuration is /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/*.rules. For example, here's the .pkla file for systemd-networkd in stable, which allows the systemd-network user to take some privileged actions: https://sources.debian.org/src/systemd/247.3-7/src/network/systemd-networkd.pkla/ and here's the JavaScript equivalent: https://sources.debian.org/src/systemd/247.3-7/src/network/systemd-networkd.rules/ (These are installed into /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/ and /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ respectively, because they are distro vendor defaults rather than local configuration.) flatpak, fwupd and network-manager have other good examples. Thanks, smcv
