Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Add polkit distro feature
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019 23:27:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190115222730.54560-1-stefan@agner.ch> (raw)

From: Stefan Agner <stefan.agner@toradex.com>

This patchset adds Polkit (formerly known as PolicyKit) as a distro feature.
Polkit is used to centrally manage system policies and allows non-privileged
processes access privileged operations.

Since various packages such as systemd, ConnMan or NetworkManager allow building
with/without Polkit support it is sensible to have a global policy by using a
distro feature to descide whether to use Polkit.

Currently there is NetworkManager and xfce4 which enable polkit if systemd is
enabled. Using Polkit as a distro feature allows to easily prevent any Polkit
use while still using systemd.

I plan to send another patch to wire this up in various packages in
meta-openembedded as well as documentation update.
