Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2015-02-03 15:53:01 UTC 
See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2015-January/msg00108.html

For reverting convenience we should also supply a patch to add it back for distros stuck with it for one more release.

configure: disable ConsoleKit support by default

This commit requires users to explicitly --with-console-kit

It also adds a message pointing out ConsoleKit is deprecated and
links to a wiki page with more information. See:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2015-January/msg00108.html

for discussion. A future commit will remove ConsoleKit support entirely.

require logind support

Now that consolekit support is gone, this commit drops all
the conditionalizing of logind support.

session: drop session-type property

It was used by ConsoleKit to set the "LoginWindow" property on
login screen sessions.  it's not used by logind and ConsoleKit
is gone now, so drop it.

We may have to do some follow up fixes to deal with systemd-isms that aren't covered by the logind clones.
Comment 8 Ting-Wei Lan 2015-06-13 03:54:45 UTC 
Do these changes mean that we have to provide systemd headers on *BSD? Both systembsd and LoginKit only provide systemd D-Bus API implementations. They don't provide headers.
