Description Oleh 2020-12-16 10:22:08 UTC 
polkit and relation of systemd[policykit] not mentioned anywhere in swayidle runtime and buildtime dependencies, neither for it's functionality, it requires either logind from systemd or elogind. Please, consider adjusting dependency. This could be valid for release versions as well, i happen to use live ebuild for long time.


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
I removed polkit, polkit-gnome that is pulled as well by gtk USE and rebuild systemd without policykit and swayidle worked as before without issues.

https://github.com/swaywm/swayidle/issues/21 is why I have the the dep on policykit.  specifically this comment stating that enabling policykit got rid of a bug.  Upstream seems to not have the needed dep defined, just the top level one on elogind or systemd https://github.com/swaywm/swayidle/issues/21#issuecomment-462921664

Is polkit still needed today? Any update on the matter?
