[opensuse-factory] polkit 0.107 submitted to Base:System
Hi, I submitted an update of polkit to Base:System (sr#134698). There is one big change in the authority code: this is now using javascript to evaluate rules. See the following blost post for more details: http://davidz25.blogspot.com/2012/06/authorization-rules-in-polkit.html As this might have some impact for the security team, I've opened a bug so they take a look at it: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780751 The most important bit is that I can't test the update right now (it built fine on my computer, at least ;-)). I don't think things will go wrong, but who knows. So if you hit issues with polkit privileges after the update to the new polkit, please file a bug. And if someone can test it before we push to Factory, that's even better!

The upstream mentions that this is a UNSTABLE RELEASE. So probably revert it again? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If you look again, you'll notice that all releases of polkit until now have been marked this way :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
