Hi Matthias! For KDE we'd like to use Gnome Authentication Agent as we don't have our own, I've already reported it to polkit-gnome bugzilla [1]. PolicyKit-KDE is now integral part of kdebase-workspace, it is a KDE 4.3 feature, we should disable it for now (untill we have new ported version). Same problem is with PolicyKit-Qt as my quick port breaks API. I'd like to prepare new PolicyKit-Qt, more powerful that actually matches PolicyKit Authority DBUS interface. It's quite a bad timing with switching to new PolicyKit. I'm not sure I'll have releasable version in time of beta, I'll try it but there's still question with API compatibility for KDE 4.3. There are no KDE apps utilizing PK-Qt now so I think it's not problem to do not ship it now. What do you think? In the future KDE is going to use own authentication framework kauth as KDE is multiplatform desktop. On Linux we will use PolicyKit as backend for kauth, probably directly talking to PK, so not using PK-Qt at all. I'm sorry we're late but upstream developers do not use Fedora and PK-1 doesn't work on their distributions. So practically I become upstream, fighting with QtDBus and PK-1 types ;-) [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519674 Jaroslav On Thursday 27 August 2009 00:37:49 Matthias Clasen wrote: > As part of the move to PolicyKit 1.0, the old PolicyKit 0.9 and > PolicyKit-gnome 0.9 packages are going to be obsoleted.
