Hi,
the gnome-software also calls pkexec is some occasions, once when
external appstream data is used (not a thing in Fedora, as far as I
know) and when invoking fedora-third-party in some cases. There's no
hard require for it in the .spec file.
Yeah, I actually started looking last night and found a few other
places too :/ gnome-control-center installs a `/usr/libexec/cc-remote-
login-helper` which is run by pkexec, for instance. So I guess we're
stuck with it :(
I have opened an issue upstream[0], as well as prototyped a pkexec free
approach[1]. If things go well I can look at gnome-software as well. I
really do think splitting out and eventually dropping pkexec is a
worthwhile goal.
Feedback welcome!
