Have you been using it with ducktape for a while yourself?

Personally I've been dogfooding, albeit an earlier version, with duktape, and so far some rather important (sub-)commands have crashed. Need to examine more, though with this version.

Yes, since the previous release (121).

Which command? I use 2 desktops environment (Pantheon and Budgie) both have polkit agent, and I have no crash. Even when I simply run pkexec, dialog box appears.

It was pkexec crashing.

Below a screenshot of polkit agent in action with the Pantheon desktop

$ pkg query '%Ok → %Ov' polkit                          
DUKTAPE → on
MANPAGES → off
SPIDERMONKEY → off

very nice :)

Did a few tests so far:

• Actions in Plasma5 start menu are present and work
• kexec in running plasma session works as expected (tested with and without group wheel and the simple default polkit.addAdminRule)
• same without a desktop (ck-launch-session fvwm3) and manually running polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1

• No luck without the KDE agent (fallback to pkttyagent), authorization is always refused in that case, but maybe I'm doing something wrong?

It's good to update to 122 and find a way to move out of lang/spidermonkey91.
OPTIONS is good, but FLAVORS will be better in this case: there're two separate packages, so it's possible to choose a flavor.

That would make depending on it quite horrible :)

SpiderMonkey not needed at all :) Less rust-based bloatware -- faster builds :)
