Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2010-10-10 11:51:37 UTC

sys-auth/policykit is obsolete, and should be removed from tree.
replaced by sys-auth/polkit.

Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

As for the rest in:

http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/gnome-extra/policykit-gnome
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/sys-auth/policykit

hplip -> is fixed
policykit-qt and policykit-kde -> are masked for removal by approval from KDE
team

so that leaves old gnome, old networkmanager/nm-applet and the --disable flag
for HAL

OK, now this can be done after latest revision of HAL is stabilized. Let's give it some time then ...

policykit is no more, but will leave the mask message in place for now and remove it later.
