Homepage: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/ Proposal on d-d-l: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-May/msg00013.html License: LGPLv2 or later (I believe)
Short description: ================== PolicyKit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes: It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged applications. PolicyKit is specifically targeting applications in rich desktop environments on multi-user UNIX-like operating systems. It does not imply or rely on any exotic kernel features. PolicyKit-gnome offers GNOME integration by making it easy to write UI for all this. Summary so far: =============== + a few +1 + already used optionnally in a few modules + PolicyKit-gnome will likely be proposed for inclusion in the desktop in 2.26 Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
