FEDORA ANNOUNCE LIST

F12 PackageKit root permission change

Fedora Project leader Paul W. Frields, announced a change in for Fedora 12's PackageKit, which had allowed non-root users to install updates and new packages. Frields wrote[1],

"The Fedora 12 release contained changes in the default PackageKit behavior that allow installation of packages by users in cases where:

  • the user is logged in on the local console, and
  • is installing packages signed with a previously trusted key, and
  • is using a previously configured and trusted repository

After more discussion and thought, though, the package maintainers have posted to the fedora-devel-list mailing list agreeing to provide an update to Fedora 12's PackageKit. The update will require local console users to enter the root password to install new software packages. Details on the changes are found here[2]."
