Port to polkit-1

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: gnome-lirc-properties

gnome-lirc-properties is one of the two last packages which still use the old policykit API. It should be ported to polkit-1:

Ah, fixed upstream already: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-lirc-properties/commit/?id=4587a7037d05f4113b2e860afd634d01ec425d9e

The patch from upstream is insufficient and currently just crashes, so this needs more work.

Hi martin

I ve updated the package to 0.5.1 which fixes traceback on start

according to the upstream changelog excerpt

Fix traceback on start with new PolicyKit
From PolicyKit 0.95, the "start-time" portion of a unix-process became necessary, as PolicyKit checks for its presence when validating for arguments. We now pass a start-time of '0' so that gnome-lirc-properties doesn't traceback with a remote error, and the daemon checks for the start-time in /proc

Work-around: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28228

and the deb is available here:

Waiting for your comments
