[devel] [JT] *Kit

[Michael Shigorin]

	Здравствуйте.
Помнится, я как-то бухтел насчёт hal.  Потом его закопали.

Просьба почитать и осознать нижепроцитированное перед тем,
как слишком активно тащить в рот (сизиф и дистрибутивы)
разные *Kit и в особенности пока отсутствующий PackageKit.

Новости старые, но думаю, для нас пригодятся.

In short, the problem was that in the Fedora 12 default
installation, regular users sitting at the console could install
signed packages from any repository that the administrator has
enabled. [...]

The other main line of defense is that this behavior is "just"
a default, and can be changed by administrators. While that is
true, the process to do so is not obvious. It involves mucking
about with PolicyKit files, something that many Fedora users
probably know little to nothing about. Hughes thinks that users
should learn PolicyKit: "If you're deploying F12, then I really
think you should know the basics about PolicyKit." But, when Seth
Vidal set out to find out how to disable the feature--documented
on his blog--asking Hughes did not lead to the solution: "So, if
our engineers don't know the basics, how should our users?"

Overall, Hughes's reaction to the problem has been dismissive,
bordering on rude:

  I don't particularly care how UNIX has always worked.
  Looking at the use-cases and the things people are trying
  to do this seemed the best default. Admins can trivially
  change the default on machines if they wish.

Я лично таким людям, как этот дядя Хьюз -- не верю.
