4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Programs which use libbrasero-media now require additional
authorization. The need for the brasero application to have this
authorization is described in the "LSARC 2009/201 Update to Brasero 2.25.x"
case.
In GNOME 2.26 the applications sound-juicer, rhythmbox, and totem
also now use libbrasero-media and require similar authorization.
The sound-juicer application is a CD burning and ripping application
and uses the libbrasero-media library directly. Both totem and
rhythmbox support CD burning plugins, and those plugins make use
of libbrasero-media.
So, much like brasero, the following lines will be added to exec_attr(4)
to support this:
Desktop CD User:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/rhythmbox.bin:privs=sys_devices
Desktop CD User:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/sound-juicer.bin:privs=sys_devices
Desktop CD User:solaris:cmd:::/usr/bin/totem.bin:privs=sys_devices
Note the "Desktop CD User" was defined in the LSARC 2009/201 case.
As a part of this change, the rhythmbox, totem and sound-juicer binaries
will be moved to rhythmbox.bin, totem.bin, and sound-juicer.bin. The
/usr/bin/rhythmbox, /usr/bin/totem, and /usr/bin/sound-juicer interfaces
will be scripts that launch the actual binary with pfexec.
The totem "audiocd" and "cd-recorder" plugins provide CD burning support.
These were delivered previously, but used the nautilus-cd-burner library.
Now they use libbrasero-media. The rhythmbox application now delivers a
new brasero-disc-recorder plugin which also uses libbrasero-media.
Aside from the above changes, there are some other changes to support
additional plugins in totem and rhythmbox. For example, the rhythmbox
module no longer provides the libtotem-basic-plugin, and this has been
replaced with the separate cone, gmp, mully and narrowspace plugins. There
are also some new rhythmbox and totem plugins available that we plan to
provide.
