policykit-1 (121+compat0.1-2) experimental; urgency=medium This version of polkit changes the syntax used for local policy rules: it is now the same JavaScript-based format used by the upstream polkit project and by other Linux distributions. System administrators can override the default security policy by installing local policy overrides into /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/*.rules, which can either make the policy more restrictive or more permissive. Some sample policy rules can be found in the /usr/share/doc/polkitd/examples directory. Please see polkit(8) for more details. Some Debian packages include security policy overrides, typically to allow members of the sudo group to carry out limited administrative actions without re-authenticating. These packages should install their rules as /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/*.rules. Typical examples can be found in packages like flatpak, network-manager and systemd. Older Debian releases used the "local authority" rules format from upstream version 0.105 (.pkla files with an .desktop-like syntax, installed into subdirectories of /etc/polkit-1/localauthority or /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority). The polkitd-pkla package provides compatibility with these files: if it is installed, they will be processed at a higher priority than most .rules files. If the polkitd-pkla package is removed, .pkla files will no longer be used. -- Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2022 21:33:22 +0100
