I forgot by gnome bugzilla password (again) so before I forget: do not use .files or such it quickly becomes a mess. If you need to annotate this kind of things I humbly suggest you add an xattr to the file namespaced to ostree. Alternatively, if you do not want to touch the original file at all, keep a separate database where you note all these things, it will make for a faster lookup in case you need bulk operations instead of having to troll the whole tree. > But really, now that KDBus is on the way, we can start using it for > system services to replace many setuid binaries, like unix_chkpwd > without losing the auditing trail and such that old indirection via > dbus-daemon required. That's a subject for a different thread though. This is a good point, but a number of binaries are that way for legacy reasons, or come from upstreams that care for portability and can't rely on dbus (yet), so I think you need to care for the problem anyway.
