Several months ago, someone (swills@ IIRC) asked me to look into removing the sysutils/polkit dependency from sysutils/libudisks which I maintain. I just had a chance to look at that request and it would require at least removing the udisksctl utility from the default options and possibly removing it from the build altogether. However, its presence in the default options was expressly requested in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240138#c18 when I was initially porting libudisks. Is the request for removal still relevant? I think it was made with an eye toward removing sysutils/polkit altogether. If it is relevant, does it warrant removing udisksctl, which I found useful for port smoke testing and troubleshooting, in addition to the reasons for its presence listed in the Bugzilla comment linked above?
