Feature changed by: Frank Sundermeyer (fsundermeyer) Feature #305623, revision 13 Title: Remove gnomesu dependancies from YaST openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) Description: The Gnome team informs me gnomesu is obsoleted. We need to stop depending on gnomesu on YaST, ideally moving towards PolicyKit as much as possible but at a minimum matching the current mainline Gnome behavior. Discussion: #5: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2009-06-02 11:43:54) The only dependency I found is the yast2-control-center-gnome package; Jared, can you handle it? #6: Jared Allen (jpallen) (2009-07-01 17:09:54) (reply to #5) Yes, we'll need to look into an alternative. I'm not sure that PolicyKit itself is enough to replace the functionality of gnomesu. I'll ask Gabriel to look into this. #7: Gabriel Burt (gabrielburt) (2009-07-06 22:11:34) (reply to #6) $ sudo zypper remove libgnomesu The following packages are going to be REMOVED: deskbar-applet gedit gedit-lang gnome-applets gnome-applets- lang gnome-python-desktop libgnomeprintui libgnomeprintui-lang libgnomesu libgnomesu0 libgnomesu-lang planner planner-lang tomboy tomboy-lang yast2-control-center-gnome - So those are the packages on a default GNOME install that depend on libgnomesu. - To replace this with something powered by PolicyKit, it looks like gksu is the best option (though Rodrigo wsa working on AdminKit, but it never got traction or a lot of work, from what I can tell). Vincent has a related FATE feature opened, FATE #305640 - but it's more general, deals with getting rid of gnomesu entirely. Should we keep these boht open/separate? - The actual usage of gnomesu is coming from a SUSE patch to libgnome- desktop. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305623
