Description Kevin L. Ford 2003-02-01 01:43:06 UTC
Howdy..

Please find attached gksu.tar.gz containing gksu-0.9.1.ebuild.

gksu is a Gtk+ frontend to /bin/su. It supports login shells and preserving
environment when acting as a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other
graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program as
another user.
gksu can also act as a frontend to sudo. It installs a link /usr/bin/gksudo,
which you can call to use this feature. When using sudo, gksudo respects
/etc/sudoers definitions.

I suggest app-admin/gksu Also, this ebuild depends on GTK2.

This program is much nicer then xsu. Works really great with sudo and scripting.

Laterz.

Spider, weren't you talking about something like this ?

Comment 9 Bel Zébute 2004-03-27 12:55:46 UTC
gksu-1.1.1 is a result of a split into an interface API, a librarie and a standalone application.  As such, does bug 45844 really qualifies as a duplicate of this bug?  I mean, obviously, 3 ebuilds are now needed.
Comment 10 Nuno Araujo 2004-11-25 01:17:33 UTC
shouldn't this bug be closed since there already is a x11-libs/gksu package in the stable portage tree???
and it's version is 1.0.5, so newer that the present ebuilds here?

Comment 11 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-25 01:25:56 UTC
Sure, looks like dragonheart forgot to close this bug.
