OVERVIEW ======== polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes. DOCUMENTATION ============= Latest documentation, reference manual and API description of polkit can be found on project's Gitlab Pages. Old reference can be found at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/ RELEASES ======== Latest releases are available at polkit's Gitlab Releases page: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/releases Older releases are still available as tarballs at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/releases/ To verify the authenticity of the compressed tarball, use this command ``` bash $ gpg --verify polkit-$(VERSION).tar.gz.sign polkit-$(VERSION).tar.gz $ gpg: Signature made Tue 23 Apr 2019 04:19:29 PM CEST using RSA key ID FFDCE258 $ gpg: Good signature from "Jan Rybar (Red Hat) <jrybar@redhat.com>" ``` Public key available at https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/7FFB7D6BD83147D74284E3178CEB3030FFDCE258 BUGS and DEVELOPMENT ==================== Please report non-security bugs via the polkit's freedesktop.org GitLab at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/issues SECURITY ISSUES =============== Please report any security issues not yet known to public by creating new issue and checking the ***This issue is confidential*** checkbox. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/issues BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ================== **polkit** uses [meson build system](https://mesonbuild.com/) for configuration with *ninja* as backend and *gcc* as compiler. To configure and compile your copy of polkit tarball, simply follow meson build instructions in the following manner: ``` $ meson setup [[-D option]...] target_directory $ meson compile -C target_directory ... # meson install -C target_directory ``` List of available configuration options can be obtained with `meson configure` command. I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE ==================== Your merge requests and patch suggestions are welcome! If you want to contribute, a merge request on this Gitlab instance is a preferred way, yet not the only one. Please consult other options with this upsteam's maintainers. Should you already have a freedesktop.org Gitlab account, please file your merge request. In this case, please **don't force-push any further changes** into the merge request and add a new commit into the MR instead. Thank you in advance.
