We do not want policykit to use the unmaintainable mozjs backend. That would be a hard NACK from the Security Team.
The duktape backend has been merged upstream. So in order to sync this to Ubuntu, the following must be done: 1- Get Debian to switch to the duktape backend 2- Get Debian to transition all packages in the archive from PKLA policy files to JS policy files 3- Transition Ubuntu packages not in Debian from PKLA policy files to JS policy files 4- Investigate Snap policykit support, and if required, transition Snaps from PKLA policy files to JS policy files. Once the transition has been done for all software, policykit can be switched to the duktape policykit backend by syncing the package from Debian. Hopefully at that point it will be in Unstable, and not in experimental. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972654 Title: [security review] Sync policykit-1 0.120-6 (main) from Debian experimental To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1972654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
