Let's see a proof of concept so we can give it a whirl with xscreensaver 6.03. From this discourse, this may help other screen lockers and desktop configurators that unflinchingly assume Linux-PAM's hack, ie implementation details including any helpers in PAM itself rather than externally.

What Linux did was a hack. (Remember PAM was written by Sun Microsysystems 20, 25 years ago). Short of changing the spec or adding some kind of kernel interface the linux-pam maintainer implemented a hack.

Take a look at ports/security/pam_helper. It may be what you're looking for. It was built to allow gnome-screensaver to use PAM without root privilege.

The upstream PATCHFILES fails to patch due to the GitLab CI file that the tarball does not have. Please look at the file closely.

Not committing this until after we get graphics/cairomm situated, to avoid having to revision bump this new version.

I'm planning on writing up something as a blog post and a wiki page outlining the basic setup, which may be handbook material later. I haven't been able to test too much functionality apart from the basics, not least since I have never been able to get network access working even with the linux-c7 userland.

remove installed cpu_features files

re-up correct patch, rebase on committed

What this patch became is now completely wrong. See bugzilla.

update to 3.9.4.0

update to newer cpu_features snapshot and re-enable. Builds and tests successfully now on amd64

No, they just repack the bzr snapshots. Also out of scope of this revision.

re-add CPE information, re-remove amdmi3@ header

fix CATEGORIES, add pkg-message, clarify pkg-descr

Currently dogfooding an update to sysutils/archlinux that includes a flavour for managing a vanilla Arch Linux userland for Linuxulator use. Apart from adding some bits in pkg-message it's pretty much ready for wider testing.

GitHub can't seem to figure their shit out. They added a character back to the hashes, so the existing distinfo works again.
