Note to developers
As a follow up to the Changes to RPM side-loading and packagekit
authorization thread in the mailing list
(https://lists.sailfishos.org/pipermail/devel/2014-June/004529.html)
we will introduce a polkit UI in one of the upcoming releases, so users
can confirm installation requests. Some apps such as Warehouse will be
affected by this change and need to be updated, i.e  the  app needs to
either white-list itself in the polkit policy rules or provide a
built-in polkit authentication agent as described in
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit-agents.html.
