In F21, gnome-shell is switching over from mozjs17 to mozjs24. Would be great if polkit could switch over as well, in order to avoid shipping with two JS runtimes.
*** Bug 1103454 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This looks like an upstream issue to fix, as mozjs24 is C++ only.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
Might be worth looking at mozjs31 now
There's now also mozjs38
Moving to rawhide, note there is now mozjs45
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.

Hi, I was just made aware of a recent polkit(-libs) update and like to give some feedback on it. This update works normally - and this is not the concern. But I am curious why it now depends on mozjs52 which adds another 23mb of dependency to the system? We use Fedora on a low consumer platform with things stripped away as much as possible (less than 750packages). Every free megabyte counts on these small systems. Now you add 23mb of dependency to two packages (polkit and polkit-lib) that have just a sice of less than 250kb. If it's not necessary, then please get rid of the mozjs52 dependency. Mozjs17 was just 3.8mb now replaced by a 23mb dependency. A 6x times overhead...

Mozjs17 is unmaintained and being a JS engine means it has potential CVEs (with little doubt) so there is a need to move it forward because there's other implications of leaving it as it is.

I fully understand this. I also noticed the huge cleanup in the spec file and all the patches that got dropped. I only wished polkit wouldn't depend on that big thing called mozjs52. Anyways! Thank you for the feedback.
