Rex is right, it's a runtime dependency for policykit enabled applications. It exposes a D-Bus interface you're supposed to call to allow the user to get credentials. Yes, there's a GTK+ based equivalent which exposes the same interface since said interface is shared... still, at runtime you expect *something* to expose this interface. On another note, it's pretty interesting to see that we're apparently trying to take an uninformed decision. I mean, it's apparently unclear to most of the people what it is, and did anyone actually toroughly review it? I admit I wanted to do it but didn't find the time to make a proper review, otoh after a couple of tests I gave up trying to make it work (seems I tried it too early though, got stabilized in the meantime afaik).

So those apps won't work at all if the dbus interface is not there? That would make it a runtime dependency indeed.

Fwd: PolicyKit-KDE destiny
Forwarding to the Release Team. My opinion on this was to defer to those who know the issues much better than I. IOW: I'm happy either way. -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: PolicyKit-KDE destiny Date: Friday 19 December 2008 From: Dario Freddi drf54...@gmail.com To: kde-core-de...@kde.org Hello everyone, After spending some time in KDEreview, I think it's time for taking a decision about the destiny of PolicyKit-KDE. Basically the decision, based on the proposals we had in the last discussion, is whether going for a freeze except, or place it in extragear to allow packaging for distros and throw it in trunk for KDE 4.3. I'd like to point again that this does not introduce new APIs or anything critical, it's just a client for using PolicyKit inside KDE without the need for the GNOME interface After some discussion I'll do whatever was decided. Cheers Dario --- ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

Cheers Dario Where exactly is this to end up? I guess kdebase but which part? runtime or apps? Has anyone reviewed the code? I'm all for including this functionality per se but if I remember correctly, the decision was to allow it into the beta stages if it passed a review.

IMHO apps, as its not a runtime dependency for all kde apps. disagree, (as I understand it), policy-kde is not a standalone app, but a runtime component for policykit-using apps. Hmm, actually isn't this more something for workspace? As far as I understood the purpose of this is to replace a GTK/Gnome-equivalent if running a KDE desktop. Thats exactly what workspace is for.
