* PolicyKit/resmgr
PolicyKit and resmgr are quite similar in the their goal. As PolicyKit is part of HAL, and HAL is necessary to run openSUSE anyway, it would make sense to support PolicyKit and drop resmgr. Even more so if PolicyKit will be a dependency of HAL in the (near?) future. What i don't know: Is PolicyKit is already mature enough to replace the already working solution resmgr.
No. PolicyKit is a new thing and just becoming part of HAL. Its code sucks, its thinking sucks. We might be able to influence it towards a better way, eg resmgr.
What I am missing in both packages is some kind of tool that lets me actually tap into the power of hal/PolicyKit/resmgr and define my own rules for accessing the computer resources. As a desktop guy I would prefer a nice GUI, but even a bare set of templates for some common usage scenarios like multiuser, terminal server, etc. would help.
You can with resmgr. ;) Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
