Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-03-17 21:49:08 UTC
I see nothing in cinnamon-session that uses polkit in any way. No policy files shipped. No D-Bus talking to PolicyKit. No nothing.

Polkit is certainly necessary for a good support, but these deps should probably be somewhere else then?

Additionally requiring polkit[elogind] specifically tripped up CI once I use.masked USE=elogind for systemd profiles, as is logical, and I had to rework cinnamon-session to have USE=elogind and a REQUIRED_USE for this. That added complexity could also go away from there when elogind specifically wouldn't be required of elogind stuff there, or the elogind[policykit] bits.

Anyhow, please review the changes done and the necessity of these deps overall.
