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.
