Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305623, revision 21 Title: Remove gnomesu dependancies from YaST - openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.2: Duplicate of #305640 Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Info Provider: (Novell) Info Provider: (Novell) Requested by: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) Developer: (Novell) 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. #8: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-09-14 14:48:10) too late for 11.2 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305623
