polkit cpupower-gui.rules are not installed
unode opened this issue · comments
While packaging cpupower-gui for NixOS I had to manually copy the cpupower-gui.rules
file from the source directory in order to allow wheel
members to modify settings without sudo
.
I noticed that this file is not installed. Is this intended behaviour?
Not exactly. It depends on the distro. Debian still uses PolicyKit
, which relies on the .pkla
files. Up till now the default was to package these over the rules file, and have rules be copied manually.
I was thinking about it recently, and considering adding a switch in meson to control the behaviour.
Probably I will go with .rules
being the default and the switch will be used for Debian and derivatives.
Tested it on Arch and it works with the default options.
However, I added the install -d ...
line as without it the permissions of the folder is 755
instead of 750
.
