In which case we can have the programs that use it depend on it, so at least we have those requirements mapped distinctly. To me it makes more sense to say "let's install pkexec when we are also installing something that uses it" than "let's install pkexec any time we install polkit". > Then don't.

I agree, but your argument read to me like "we must keep it installed even when no program that uses it is installed, for interactive use", which I disagree with. I think focusing on the word "legacy" misses the point. The real meat of the idea for me is "let's only install it when it's needed", which I think would be good. Still, if it's as tied in to Workstation as it seems to be, the effort may not be worthwhile. We'd only ultimately be able to drop it, maybe, from minimal and Server installs. If it still has to be in KDE and Workstation installs, the value of doing all the work to separate it and find all the packages that use it may not be worthwhile. -- 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
