Description Rahul Sundaram 2009-05-27 04:01:12 UTC

Description of problem:

usermode/consolehelper is deprecated since Fedora has a better framework now
called PolicyKit. Please switch to using that instead

Comment 1 John Poelstra 2009-06-08 20:18:24 UTC

Added 'FutureFeature' keyword to avoid rawhide base

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2011-01-21 19:54:17 UTC

Just an attempt at understanding this poorly phrased ticket... Basically, you're not asking for a change to the packaging, but for somebody to develop a DBus service for wifi-radar that would use PolicyKit for the privileged actions.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Dan Mashal 2013-04-13 03:51:04 UTC

So I'm looking at a 4 year old bug here and wondering if this is still a bug and if so, why is this a packaging issue? If I don't get a reply within 30 days im closing it.
