Hello,
some other distros use a Polkit rule, that makes the local admin group
("wheel" on Guix) Polkit admins. Yet others easily allow writing your
own files to /etc, so that such a rule can be added. Guix lacks such a
rule by default and adding it in the way you're supposed to in other
distros is not very guixy.
Since our polkit service expects a list of packages as extension, I
currently use the following in my /etc/config.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define polkit-wheel
(package
(name "polkit-wheel")
(version "0")
(source #f)
(build-system trivial-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:modules ((guix build utils))
#:builder
(begin
(use-modules ((guix build utils)))
(let ((rules.d (string-append %output "/share/polkit-
1/rules.d")))
(mkdir-p rules.d)
(with-output-to-file (string-append rules.d "/wheel.rules")
(lambda ()
(display "polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) {
return [\"unix-group:wheel\"];
});
")))))))
(home-page #f)
(synopsis "Make wheel adminstrate")
(description #f)
(license #f)))
(define polkit-wheel-service-type
(service-type (name 'polkit-wheel)
(extensions
(list (service-extension polkit-service-type
(const (list polkit-
wheel)))))
(default-value '())))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The problems with this apporach should be clear. "polkit-wheel" is by
no stretch of the imagination an actual package. It is so trivial,
that it might as well just be a file. Is there a simpler way of
extending polkit, perhaps with just a g-expression?
Regards,
Leo
