Look closer then. The big advantage of the new api is that the PolicyKit interaction is kept entirely on the mechanism side, with no need for clients do a complicated first-call-mechanism-then-polkit-then-mechanism-again dance. The consequence is that porting to the new api often just means dropping polkit-specific code from the clients. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
