Once firefox-78 is in, it will use python3. JS68 is still python2 -
last December xry111 had a patch to let JS68 use python3. I
remember building that on my py3 system, but since the polkit I was
using did not use JS68 and I was not able to address that, I had to
drop the polkit chain (JS68, polkit, elogind, rootless X). But
since then we have dropped the cut-down JS68 from fdo and moved to
using the JS shipped in firefox. Maybe we should reconsider that ?
I'm not 100% sure I understand, but can't we use FF68 source for
js68 and
polkit and use FF78 separately?
Yes, we can use current FF68 source for js68. That will still
require python2, probably for ever. And that is my initial plan
(basically just reinstate a separate entity for js68).
A possible future alternative is to reinstate the cut-down FDO
version of js68 source, with xry111's patch to use python3.
Well it certainly would be nice to get polkit to do an update.
Adding into this is the complexity of gjs. I'm not sure whether or not
gjs-1.66 (to go along with GNOME-3.38) is going to use js78 or not. I
haven't seen anything from the distributor-list at GNOME yet.
I'll let you guys know as soon as I know though. Normally they announce
those changes within a month or two before the next release of GNOME to
distributors so it's easier for them to package it upon the arrival of
the release.
