Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-08-02 19:12:53 UTC 
Seems that policykit-gnome requires some love ;)

After this bump, one could deprecate (I hope) polkit in favor of policykit as it seems there's some overlapping between two projects...

Isn't this already done?

[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.96  USE="-debug -doc -examples" 355 kB

Aww. Completely missed that. My real issue is that policykit-gnome comes with 'polkit-gnome-authorization' - graphical utility for editing and customizing system policies.  But this only works with policies under `/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy` ie older PolicyKit.

But Polkit's policy files are stored now under `/usr/share/polkit-1/actions` directory and for them there doesn't seem to be any GUI utility available :(
