sysutils/accountsservice: update to 22.08.8

[duchateau.olivier_gmail.com]

Summary

• Update to 22.08.8
• Pass maintainership to desktop@ team (like other projects)
• Adjust patches

Since the 22.04.62 release, ConsoleKit2 support has been removed, so we use directly libconsolekit API functions, and when they are missing the DBus API (see patch-src_libaccountsservice_act-user-manager.c).

Test Plan

With Python, it is easy to get information from user:

$ python3.9                                             
Python 3.9.15 (main, Nov 15 2022, 01:15:05) 
[Clang 13.0.0 ([e-mail]:llvm/llvm-project.git llvmorg-13.0.0-0-gd7b669b3a on freebsd13
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gi
>>> gi.require_version('GLib', '2.0')
>>> gi.require_version('Gio', '2.0')
>>> from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
>>> bus = Gio.bus_get_sync(Gio.BusType.SYSTEM, None)
>>> proxy = Gio.DBusProxy.new_sync(bus, Gio.DBusProxyFlags.NONE, None, 'org.freedesktop.Accounts', '/org/freedesktop/Accounts', 'org.freedesktop.Accounts', None)
>>> path = proxy.FindUserByName('(s)', GLib.get_user_name())
>>> path
'/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001'
>>> proxy = Gio.DBusProxy.new_sync(bus, Gio.DBusProxyFlags.NONE, None, 'org.freedesktop.Accounts', path, 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties', None)
>>> prop = proxy.Get('(ss)', 'org.freedesktop.Accounts.User', 'IconFile')
>>> prop
'/home/olivierd/.face'
>>>

I'd try upstreaming this first.

For headers 'shadow.h' and 'crypt.h' perhaps. About ConsoleKit2 support I doubt. Support was removed almost 1 year ago, Robert Ancell already refused my patch for LightDM about internationalization (that's why it is not translated for non English users). Since the latest release, I see nobody (for BSD systems) send request or submit merge request to keep support of ConsoleKit.

You (desktop@ team) wishes to maintain libraries from freedesktop.org, so do your job!

Polkit is the same, nobody has taken time to test the latest release. SpyderMonkey >=100 is not supported by all architectures, KDE is not the only desktop supported by FreeBSD.

I didn't look into these changes yet, but why not just revert upstream commit that removed CK2 support and then build on that?

Because changes are too big. libconsolekit API is almost identical to systemd, so I think it is easier to maintain patches.

All right, we should probably get this in. Olivier, maybe you can create a fork repository containing all these patches, so we (desktop@) may participate in supporting this? I imagine this would be a non-trivial effort.

Why not. I think in the future, src/libaccountsservice/act-user-manager.c patch will be smaller, because @rnagy has already added these functions in development branch of consolekit2. Perhaps he knows when stable release will be published.

I've just submitted patch in order to have the latest release (23.13.9) , bug #270881.

consolekit2 already has all the systemd shim functions which can be used by accountsservice. So I suggest you look into that. All the required information is in
the OpenBSD ports tree and the ConsoleKit2 git repo.

I know, this update is outdated. Now everything is on bugzilla (update of consolekit2 to 1.2.5, and accountsservice to 23.13.9).
