a polkit agent in 145 lines of code, because polkit is dumb and none of the other agents worked
License: GNU General Public License v3.0
polkit is dumb, and never works.
so here is probably the simplest version you can have (except the first one that just ACKed every call), 97 lines of C++ and 45 lines of C, in total 142 lines of code.
it just uses kdesu to call a helper as root to send the reply, so all requests requires the user to enter the root password.
Write a simple replacement for polkit itself, it's a simple dbus API and 90% of what it provides is never used.
Does polkit-dumb-agent support fingerprint authentication? As far as I know, it doesn't. If indeed it doesn't, what's your stance about supporting it?
Hi, I am using dwm and start it with startx. I was wondering how can I start this so when I need it it can authenticate? If I start it .xinitrc by polkit-dumb-agent & it only shows an auth dialog, but it is stuck in a loop if I try to authenticate until I cancel it. Thanks a lot!
Attempting to install polkit-dumb-agent-git from the AUR yields the error shown in the build log. I do not use Wayland, nor do I have it installed.

Whenever i try installing this through an aur helper or manually it says there are dependency errors. It worked fine a month ago.

Yes, please do it! Polkit is really incredible piece of shit. I’d even try to arrange funding for such project.
I love this as a bare bones replacement for the kde agent but default qt looks ugly so I added: QApplication::setStyle("gtk2");
after the line: QApplication app(argc, argv); and recompiled.
Would adding themes with something like argv be something worth doing here or should a separate project be forked?
Getting this error when trying to compile:
FreeBSD% cmake .
-- Found PkgConfig: /usr/local/bin/pkg-config (found version "1.7.4")
-- Checking for module 'libsystemd'

Is it possible to use this without systemd, which doesn't exist on FreeBSD?
Can sendreply.c be rewritten so that it doesn't need systemd? If not, why not?
Thank you very much. Looks like we share the same opinion about PolKit (and, in my case, most of the Red Hat stack).
