Consistent PolicyKit system policy

2009-08-10 Thread Tim Waugh
When defining a new policy mechanism for PolicyKit, what are the "rules" for setting the default policy? PolicyKit's flexibility is excellent, but it means that we have to choose sensible and consistent defaults for each application that uses it. I ask because the default policy for cups-pk-helpe

Re: Maintainer Responsibilities
