There used to be an xdg-su actually, but it got removed for some reason. I think they wanted to use PolicyKit instead or something. The old code is here: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/portland/portland/xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-su > Per, would you agree to put this new script in xdg-utils?

I'd be happy to move it -- I haven't had time to maintain it properly. Part of the problem is that upstream is quite inactive as well. When I started maintaining this package, I didn't plan on becoming my own upstream. Co-maintainance is very welcome. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
