The systemd -> polkit -> mozjs chain renders various armv8 systems unbootable due to that. There are no fixes for mozjs17, only more recent versions. > > Signed-off-by: Koen Kooi > --- > > This is an RFC since there are a number of things needing to get sorted out, like the usage for host python instead of the sysroot one and the fact that configure runs 'pip install', which needs networking. But it's mozilla software, so we have to accept that it's ugly and a maintenance nightmare. And of course polkit can only work with mozjs17. Great, a 'security' helper than depends on a library that doesn't get any security updates and doesn't work properly on !x86... I'll see if I can fix polkit in a different way, there's a patch to move it to the duktape js library, maybe that will improve things. regards, Koen
