Description Dainius Masiliūnas 2016-07-29 14:59:58 UTC

At the moment the polkit ebuild (0.113-r1) depends on dev-lang/spidermonkey:0/mozjs185, which is extremely obsolete (2011, Firefox 4.0...). Instead, it can be built against at least spidermonkey:17, by simply changing the CDEPEND and replacing "--with-mozjs=mozjs185 \" with "--with-mozjs=mozjs-17.0 \".

The ebuild with such a change is already available in the frabjous overlay:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gentoo-mirror/frabjous/master/sys-auth/polkit/polkit-0.113-r3.ebuild

I haven't tested it, but it's possible that it could be linked against an even newer version of spidermonkey.
