Ah, I follow. >=20 > Didn't post the ports earlier (before this backend backport), > since it was kinda useless to run with the "dummy" backend. :-) No problem. I did notice some nits in the plist of packagekit. You should not include blank lines (even to logically segment sections). If you want true separation, use separate plists. Once I have some time, I'll go through them in more detail. I'd love to get them committed. >=20 > > We have the > > latest PolicyKit coming with GNOME 2.28 (once 8.0 is out the door). > > DeviceKit will probably never happen on FreeBSD.

We have GNOME 2.28 with polkit-0.9.4 in the tree. >=20 > gnome-packagekit requires DeviceKit-power for "battery" support, > but I added a disabler meanwhile (i.e. assume power is connected). Cool. That support will be coming. They have finally merged a branch of DK-power which offers modular backend support. My project for GNOME 2.30 is DK-power.
