To polkit, was the original intention.

Yes, I know, check who closed them and when ;) Several of them were "me, last week". But there are several I had to leave open because I verified the package was still in the distro and still using consolehelper, and several tools for which either a bug was never filed, or it was closed without the migration being done, or they started using consolehelper later. > > I tried to migrate Mock out of consolehelper > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502749 > https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/issues/684 Aha, mock was actually the big one on the list that I wondered about, so thanks for filling that in. > > but very soon I discovered that documentation of PolicyKit is nearly non-existent.

I don't know. I can't tell from the above what documentation or functionality you're missing, and that info doesn't seem to be in the ticket or bug you linked either (except a very vague mention of needing "to handle ENV".) I don't know when your conversations and research took place, so it's hard to say what's changed since. polkit's maintainer has changed twice (I think) since the time this feature was introduced, it's currently Jan Rybar. The current polkit documentation is at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/ . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
