Sentinel v0.13.0
Sentinel 0.13.0
KDE-only. Sentinel now ships a single frontend — the KDE Plasma helper —
and the COSMIC frontend has been removed.
This is a packaging/structure change. The shared authentication backend
(PAM module, polkit agent, privilege-separation broker) is unchanged, and
there is no change to configuration or the auth path.
Removed
- The COSMIC frontend (
sentinel-helper, libcosmic) and its locale
bundles. - The COSMIC root
install.sh/uninstall.sh— the KDE installer at
packaging-kde/install.shis now the only installer. - The
sentinel-cosmicArch/AUR package and thebuild-cosmic/
publish-aur-cosmicrelease jobs. - The entire libcosmic dependency tree, along with its
deny.tomland
cargo auditadvisory/license carve-outs.
Unchanged
- The KDE helper (
sentinel-helper-kde) and its AUR package
(sentinel-kde) keep their names — existing users are unaffected. - The PAM module, polkit agent, and broker — and all 0.12.0 behavior
(per-command remember, sudo credential-cache control, the broker, …).
For users
- KDE users: nothing to do.
sentinel-kdecontinues as before. - COSMIC users:
sentinel-cosmicis discontinued; its last release is
0.12.0.
For packagers
- Build the helper with
cargo build -p sentinel-helper-kde; the auth-path
backend (pam-sentinel,sentinel-polkit-agent,sentinel-broker)
builds with a barecargo build.
