[Bug 790147] Many packages require deprecated ConsoleKit

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790147 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790147#c5 --- Comment #5 from Guido Berhörster 2012-11-19 09:20:42 UTC --- As for LightDM, upstream has this on the radar (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/930488), however it isn't high priority for them since Debian/Ubuntu do not use systemd. The above list is also incomplete, e.g. xfce4-session and xfce4-power-manager depend on ConsoleKit and full systemd support won't be happening before Xfce 4.12 which will not make it into openSUSE 12.3. (In reply to comment #0)

On the both my systems ConsoleKit consumes more memory than any other precess.

Then there must be something wrong on your system, it uses about 1.8 MB RSS here.

But its functionality is already doubled by systemd-logind and ConsoleKit is declared deprecated long ago.

That's also not true, CK is still in use in many major distros such as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Solaris, or the BSDs so it won't be abandoned just because one of its maintainers left it. I don't see any urgency here, CK can run in parallel to systemd without problems, so we can keep it around as long as it is needed just like hal, udisks etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
