add a new --allow-unauthenticated option to pkcon
Updated patch |
||
Concept looks good, but I'm not in love with the "allow_unauthenticated" name. "allow-untrusted"? "allow-non-trusted"? Created attachment 105297 [details] [review] Updated patch Thanks a lot for your review and feedback! I updated the patch now to use the suggested name and also added a man-page entry for it. Pushed to master, thanks. |

Created attachment 105257 [details] add a new --allow-unauthenticated option to pkcon In order to install packages without a signature (e.g. to test locally build projects) it would be nice to have a way to tell packagekit in advance that its ok to install a package without authentication (i.e. avoid the interactive question during the task execution). The use case is a SDK that can build a test package from your project and install it into a emulator to do a full end-to-end test of the project. Attached is a patch that implements a pkcon --allow-unauthenticated option that clear the PK_TRANSACTION_FLAG_ENUM_ONLY_TRUSTED flag when this option is used. Feedback welcome! If that looks acceptable I'm happy to do the man-page addition as well. Thanks, Michael
