Could smolkit not PROVIDE polkit, so the distro can just switch the preferred provider and everything just works? > +PV = "0.2+git" > + > +SRC_URI = "\ > + git://github.com/bmwcarit/${BPN}.git;protocol=https;branch=main \ > +" > +SRCREV = "46bbfd5c922a8d03a534398ee129ded822dfcafe" I notice a lack of tags upstream… > +S = "${UNPACKDIR}/${BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX}" You can drop this line. Finally, I absolutely love the name. Ross

smolkit is a drop-in replacement for a subset of polkit's interface, which is low-footprint in the sense of not needing to have a javascript engine available to do its job. polkit has this disadvantage and even with a small javascript engine like duktape, it is not worth to have turing-complete configuration where you could also use static JSON on some embedded devices.
