when consolekit dep was added, it's been decided it was a small enough dependency bringing enough feature by itself without breaking things that it would be not optional (automounting for active user being one the things that it helps fixing). Could you be more precise with you think you don't need it for ? I'm using Xfce. I have automounting working and I never ran ConsoleKit. I checked with lsof that none of its files was loaded. If you meant that I needed it for automounting, it seems I don't. Anyway, I think that making it optional and setting the consolekit USE flag default to on would be much more in the Gentoo spirit. Actually, after a recent emerge -uD world, my system didn't automount any more. I uninstalled consolekit (whose update seemed to be the cause) and it automounts again. reopening since I'm about to add it. fixed in 2.20.10-r1. Thanks for reporting. It'd be nice if you could try consolekit again though as it blocking automounting shouldn't happen out of the box, so it'd be nice to have a bug report for that. |
Now I don't know what needs GDM to run with consolekit(GNOME?), but some of us don't need it, and thus don't really care for the dep. So a, if use consolekit ; then G2CONF="${G2CONF} --with-consolekit=yes" ; else G2CONF="${G2CONF} --with-consolekit=no" ; fi would be nice. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
