* Fix a typo in polkit(8)Miloslav Trmač2017-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | Reported by Perter Klotz <peter.klotz99@gmail.com>. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103144
* pkcheck: fix man typosAnders Jonsson2015-10-211-5/+5

* build: Start using git.mkColin Walters2015-06-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | I was looking at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85504 But polkit, particularly because of its use of recursive make, is a good fit for git.mk.
* pkexec: Support just plain "pkexec" to run shellColin Walters2014-02-181-5/+6
| | | | | | | | I use "pkexec bash" a lot, and it'd be nice to be able to just type "pkexec" and have it do what I want. Like how "su" will run the shell by default. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74933
* pkcheck: Support --process=pid,start-time,uid syntax tooColin Walters2013-09-181-9/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The uid is a new addition; this allows callers such as libvirt to close a race condition in reading the uid of the process talking to them. They can read it via getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED) or equivalent, rather than having pkcheck look at /proc later after the fact. Programs which invoke pkcheck but need to know beforehand (i.e. at compile time) whether or not it supports passing the uid can use: pkcheck_supports_uid=$($PKG_CONFIG --variable pkcheck_supports_uid polkit-gobject-1) test x$pkcheck_supports_uid = xyes
* More warnings about using auth_self*Miloslav Trmač2013-05-061-2/+6
| | | | | | Suggested by Colin Walters. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57284
* Use auth_admin* instead of auth_self* in examplesMiloslav Trmač2013-05-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | From time to time, application developers just copy example configuration without examining it in details. Because polkit is typically used to control access to system-level operations, the policy (and therefore the examples) should limit access to system administrators only.

* Introduce a polkit.Result enumeration for authorization rulesDavid Zeuthen2012-07-061-20/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This way an authorization rule can do this return polkit.Result.YES; which is slightly nicer than return "yes"; https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50983 Signed-off-by: David Zeuthen <zeuthen@gmail.com>

* Combine action and details parametersDavid Zeuthen2012-05-241-175/+204
| | | | | | | | | | This also removes the ability to change detail parameters which is actually a good thing. If we later need a way to change the authentication message, we can always add something like polkit.addAuthenticationMessageRule() so the user can register a function returning a string.

| | | | | | | | | | | Additionally, add a "fallback" option. Also add support in this in the pkttyagent(1) program. This slightly breaks libpolkit-backend API by adding a GVariant* param to one of the class vfuncs... but that API is already declared unstable so that's fine.
