Bug 500758 – sys-auth/polkit-0.112-r1 stable request

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 508862
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2014-02-09 09:59:31 UTC]

I know it's probably too soon, but will open this for tracking purposes and start thinking on a version that could go stable when Gnome 3.10 is going too. I think this one is the first working properly on ia64

[Comment 1 Pacho Ramos 2014-02-15 10:42:54 UTC]

At 20 Feb will make a month in the tree, maybe we could CC arches at that time... or does it have more pending problems?

[Comment 2 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2014-02-15 17:50:13 UTC]

Ive been waiting to hear back from ia64 etc, but nothing negative so far.  All good in my opinion.  Im on the road so i can CC arches next week or pls go ahead.  we recommend stabilizing polkit at the same time too.

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2014-02-15 19:48:38 UTC]

(We will need to track this as it's a depend of latest gjs from gnome-3.10 :))

What polkit stuff is needed for this? polkit-0.112-r1? In that case, should I CC freedesktop (in this case ssuominen ;)) to confirm he is ok or is it simply waiting for this to go to stable?

Thanks!

@freedesktop, any problems with stabilizing pokit-1.112-r1 with this?

no. I've been asked about this many times already. Just stabilize latest polkit when you need it. Latest is greatest.

sys-auth/polkit isn't keyworded for HPPA, bug #502124 may or may not be fixed since a newer version appears to be working better, permitted it's patched (bug #497900), so dev-lang/spidermonkey-17* need not go stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2014-02-23 16:08:19 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2014-02-23 17:11:15 UTC]

x86 stable

[Comment 9 Markus Meier 2014-02-25 20:52:37 UTC]

arm stable

Sorry if i'm writing in the wrong place, but on amd64, updgrading from sys-auth/polkit-0.112 to sys-auth/polkit-0.112-r1 force to install spidermonkey:17 while it has previously worked with spidermonkey-1.8.5-r4:0

This is intentional? 
There are really problems on amd64 using polkit-0.112 with spidermonkey-1.8*?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. 17.* is an upgrade over 1.8.*. As in, latest supported version is used in purpose.

Yes, that's right, but instead of forcing polkit to use older spidermonkey, efforts should be put in fixing anything using 1.8* to use also 17* or newer so you can uninstall the older version of spidermonkey
As in, we are moving forward, not backwards

[Comment 12 Fabio Bonfante 2014-02-27 18:16:35 UTC]

Woops... 17 > 1.8 and not 1.7 < 1.8 ...that's the point! :p
Thanks Samuli.
