Hey,
Time for some new releases
http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit-0.9.tar.gz
http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit-gnome-0.9.tar.bz2
Release notes below. Not very exciting but some new translations.
FWIW, I expect to start working on something like this
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit/PluggableArchitecture
in the near future. This is needed for the FreeIPA-ish integration (e.g.
create a plug-in architecture suitable FreeIPA and projects similar to
it) and will also help us get rid of most of the the setuid/setgid
helpers in the local machine use case. Comments, of course, more than
welcome.
As a reuslt, 0.10 might be a bit out. In the mean time we can do 0.9.x
releases if needed.
