From: Stefan Agner <[email protected]> This patchset adds Polkit (formerly known as PolicyKit) as a distro feature. Polkit is used to centrally manage system policies and allows non-privileged processes access privileged operations.
Since various packages such as systemd, ConnMan or NetworkManager allow building with/without Polkit support it is sensible to have a global policy by using a distro feature to descide whether to use Polkit. Currently there is NetworkManager and xfce4 which enable polkit if systemd is enabled. Using Polkit as a distro feature allows to easily prevent any Polkit use while still using systemd. I plan to send another patch to wire this up in various packages in meta-openembedded as well as documentation update. -- Stefan Stefan Agner (5): systemd: only enable polkit if DISTRO_FEATURES asks for polkit gconf: rename policykit to polkit gconf: enable polkit if polkit distro feature is set consolekit: rename policykit to polkit consolekit: enable polkit if polkit distro feature is set meta/recipes-core/systemd/systemd_239.bb | 3 +-- meta/recipes-gnome/gnome/gconf_3.2.6.bb | 7 +++---- meta/recipes-support/consolekit/consolekit_0.4.6.bb | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.13.6 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
