# apk-polkit

[![Gitlab CI status](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/Cogitri/apk-polkit/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.alpineliux.org/Cogitri/apk-polkit/commits/master)

apk-polkit exposes a DBus API for libapk, the library used by APK, the Alpine Package Keeper.

It is intended to be used by software centres like GNOME Software.

apk-polkit works by running as a daemon with root permissions. It authenticates

users via polkit and if the authentication suceeds, it executes the operation

the user instructed it to do (e.g. install packages, update packages, ...)

## Building

Apk-polkit has a few dependencies:

* [glibd](https://github.com/gtkd-developers/GlibD/)

* [polkit-d](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/Cogitri/polkit-d/)

* [apk-tools-d](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/Cogitri/apk-toolsd/)

* A functional D compiler.

Once these are installed, building and installing it should be as easy as:

```sh

meson build

ninja -C build test

ninja -C build install

```

# Translating

Apk-polkit's .pot file can be generated via:

```sh

meson build

ninja -C build apk-polkit-pot

```

Afterwards this .pot file can be imported into translation programs like poedit. Save the resulting .po file which includes your translated strings in po/$langname.po, so e.g. for pt_BR (Brazillian Portuguese) po/pt_BR.po and add $langname to po/LINGUAS. Afterwards commit your changes with the following message: "chore(po): add $LANGNAME translation"
