Details

Description: Maybe should want to add udev-acl support so all users logged via console, will be authorized via consolekit, and does not need to be part of the group "scanner".

sed -i 's#\(GROUP="scanner"\)#\1, ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"#g' 50-fprint.rules

So both methods can be valid: groups and acl (via optdepends on consolekit)

Additional info:
libfprint-0.0.6-3

This method will not be valid for next udev version >= 153. Since ACL_MANAGE does not exist anymore (now is TAG+="udev-acl" that should not be used outside 70-acl.rules).

So I think that each ".rules" file that need acls for devices should contain the "udev-acl" command like in 70-acl.rules. (or use TAG (new feature) instead of ENV and put a common rule in 81-arch.rules.

open a new "bug report" for udev to prepare all packages when udev >= 153 become avail on repos?
