Noted. I'll close the RFS.
Unless I'm mistaken (and feel free to provide more information I might have
missed) xfce-polkit is not maintained upstream (last commit on
https://github.com/ncopa/xfce-polkit is three years old).
I don't see this as a blocker. Its only 300 lines of C,
I'm confident I can keep it going.
The only alternative, mate-polkit, has twice as many open issues
and pull requests upstream than xfce-polkit, and the packaging
of xfce-polkit is in better shape IMHO.
mate-polkit is still using cdbs and has no CI on Salsa
Even if it's found suitable for Forky, you don't really need to push the
dependency addition through an NMU,
I was trying to expedite things to get it in for Trixie.
Agreed, its pointless now, and I apologise for any annoyance caused.
you could have discussed that on #1090384
(before doing the first xfce-polkit upload).
I commented on #1090384 in May, Craig's reply was encouraging.
Copied the RFS to the mailing list (no response).
The upload to unstable was in July.
Also you can use merge request on
Salsa, that would be easier for us than manually merging the changes after an
NMU.
Happy to do that to move this forward.
Suggest move further discussion on details to #1090384

Peter
