Hi,
After discussion on #fedora-devel, my MATE co-maintainer raveit65,
Kalev, Misc, and previous conversations with Rex, I am ready to retire
ConsoleKit.
Others are not. I am pretty sure ConsoleKit is still needed by LXDM and
slim as they don't support systemd-logind and by pcmamfm and thunar for
handling permissions of removable devices.
LightDM seems to fully support systemd-logind.
However I have no rights to commit to systemd.
Lennart or any proven packager please add the following obsoletes tag
to systemd:
obsoletes: ConsoleKit
obsoletes: ConsoleKit-x11
obsoletes: ConsoleKit-libs
I don't see why we need to obsolete it at this point. Sure, at some
point it needs to die, but your approach doesn't seem well thought
through.
I will take care of testing, retiring and blocking the package.
Are you planning other desktops, too? And what about window-managers?
Best regards,
Christoph
