This is frankly a 'realistic' decision, on the basis that the PackageKit maintainer believes updating packages should be allowed for a regular user by default and intends to implement this, and I don't want to dictate this decision via the policy (that's not really what we're writing the policy for), so I'd rather just go with PK's choice there. This is, of course, only a configuration choice, so in any installation you could easily adjust the PolicyKit permissions and stop your users being able to install updates. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
