[SOLVED] dbus and polkit cleanup after 12/25 -current changes
by Z038 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C3S3)
I see this in the December 25th -current changelog:
Quote:
Where did the Slackware-installed rules move to, and how do I decide which ones should be removed from /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ ??
I haven't modified any of them, but maybe there are some not installed by Slackware. Should those be left there?
I'm just looking for some guidance on how to do this cleanup.

there's also a massive cleanup of polkit/dbus related packages to move most of the config files out of /etc and not install them as .new. Local config files that override the shipped ones may be placed in the directories in /etc to override the ones that we ship. Thanks to Robby Workman for this! None of the packages included in Slackware place any files in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ or /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ any more, but there may be third-party packages that still do. However, since Slackware's packages originally installed these as .new files, the leftover configs will remain. You'll probably want to take a look in those directories to clean out any config files that you haven't modified yourself or that belong to packages that aren't part of Slackware itself. |
