javascript and the future of polkit?

[Shawn Walker-Salas]

Greetings,

I noticed that polkit at least builds with mozjs-185 or mozjs-17.

However, it seems like the future of mozjs is a C++-only API; a C API will no longer be provided.

Given that, what is the plan moving forward for polkit?

Would a patch converting polkit to use mozjs-24 be welcomed even though it means a C++ dependency?

Or is there a plan to migrate to some other JavaScript engine such as http://duktape.org/?

Or should polkit just grow a dependency on gjs which gives it back a C API?

Thanks,
-Shawn
