Here are my thoughts on that (mozjs == spidermonkey): - of course, it is a bigger archive, but that's not necessarily an issue in the grand scheme of things; - the version we currently have does not require rust, but newer versions do; if we update, it means less architectures we can run spidermonkey, and thus polkit and its dependees, on; - OE is still using mozjs 60.9.0: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/dynamic-layers/meta-python/recipes-extended/mozjs/mozjs_60.9.0.bb - polkit 0.116 (which we currently have) is the last to accept mozjs-60; later versions of polkit require more recent versions of mozjs: polkit0.117 requires mozjs-68, and 0.118, mozjs-78: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.116/configure.ac#L82 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.117/configure.ac#L83 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.118/configure.ac#L83 > The only packages that use it is polkit that in order is used by: > - udisks > and optionally by: > - gvfs > - brltty > - systemd So, I'm all meh... Maybe we'll have to bite the bullet and bump mozjs if we want to bump polkit (probably a good idea to avoid security issues? Although there is no known CVE for polkit 0.116: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search/results?form_type=Advanced&results_type=overview&seach_type=all&query=cpe:2.3:a:polkit_project:polkit:0.116:*:*:*:*:*:*:* which does not mean there is no unknown issue either...)
