[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#552393: consolekit: FTBFS on hurd-i386: missing backend for GN/Hurd, and PATH_MAX issue

[Pino Toscano]

Package: consolekit
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

currently consolekit fails to build on GNU/Hurd mainly becase there's no sysdeps
backend for the GNU OS implemented. Also there is a unconditional PATH_MAX
usage.

The attacked patch proposes a sysdeps-gnu backend, which implements the process
management using Hurd's libps, the *ttyent API for the part of the console
implementation and the rest using similar (valid) approaches of other backends.
Also, it fixes the PATH_MAX usage in pam-ck-connector/pam-ck-connector.c by
using a variable-length malloc'ed buffer.
Please note the patch needs autoreconf'ing.

Thanks,
