-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Paul W. Frields <stickster@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-to: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To: fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: PackageKit change Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:52:38 -0500 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
