Polkit-Qt-1 is the next version of Polkit-Qt, based on Polkit-1. Please be aware these are just development plans, neither Polkit-Qt-1 or polkit-1 are ready for production.

KDE Plans for Polkit

We (as in the KDE team) want to switch to polkit-1 by default just when we will reach feature parity with our polkit-0.9 tools. The KAuth backend for polkit-1 will be made available as soon as polkit-qt-1 will be ready, but not made as default until the requirements above are met.

Fedora/Red Hat people will switch to polkit-1 by default upon Fedora 12 release, which is before 4.4. Hopefully, we will be able to deliver 4.4/KAuth with polkit-1 by default

KDE Release Cycle and Polkit

It is quite unlikely that every polkit-1 tool will made it into 4.4/workspace. We can, however, if everything will be ready by 4.4 release, make KAuth polkit-1 backend default, and provide a separate tarball for polkit-1 tools (just like we did with polkit-0.9 and KDE 4.2), and merging them later in kdebase/workspace. We also want to deprecate polkit-0.9 by making it a separate tarball. Hence the plan would be:

=> 4.4: Have polkit-0.9 in workspace and polkit-1 in a separate tarball => 4.5: Have polkit-1 in workspace, and polkit-0.9 in a separate tarball for legacy installations. Put polkit-0.9 in maintenance mode in KDE Extragear.
