I'm saying that i myself<br>will help with the change for at least Date & Time,<br>and we will provide a nice techbase tutorial<br>explaining how PolicyKit works and how can we<br>benefit from it.<br><br>Also someone said that kde should no trust in<br>new users (like me) cause we might give and<br>leave the project unmaintained. Well that's<br>100% TRUE, but WHO guarantees that any person<br>will not move on? :P<br><br>So seriously it
very important to have PolkiKde<br>in 4.2 because this way it's easier to have more<br>people hunting the last bugs, as no official<br>kde application does use that.<br>I'd like to ship KPackagekit in 4.2 too,<br>but i didn't had time to fix all missing things<br>as polkitkde was more important.<br>In 4.3 with polkit-kde this will be easier.<br><br>Ok, so i'm here to ask to put it into KDEReview,<br>there are a few things missing:<br>- Some fixes in authorization Model<br> This includes a better function to grab an<br> index for a given action string.<br>- Fix some leaks in the manager<br>- Add a config for preferences of manager<br>- Fix a bug (no crash), because QSocketNotifier<br><span style="font-style: italic;"> emit</span>s too many changes.<br><br>As you can see we worked hard and there is just a<br>few missing things for it be 100% usable,<br>it's now 98% (not including the lib).<br><br>For 4.3 we will do the lib, and some
tutorials.<br><br>So as some of you voted for an exemption i do<br>believe now is the time to take a look over<br>PolkitKDE.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Daniel.<br></div><div style="font-family: Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">De:</span></b> Thiago Macieira <thiago@kde.org><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Para:</span></b> kde-core-devel@kde.org; neundorf@kde.org<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Enviadas:</span></b> Segunda-feira, 17 de Novembro de 2008 20:19:47<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Assunto:</span></b> Re: kdereview exemption for PolicyKit-KDE<br></font><br>On Monday 17 November 2008 21:58:46 Alexander Neundorf wrote:<br>> On Monday 17 November 2008, Aaron J.
