Details

Duktape support was merged https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/merge_requests/97 and there's nothing else before that in master since latest stable, so I suggest building from the merge commit, and dropping mozjs depedency.
This needs duktape fixes from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73500, meson patch from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/merge_requests/99, and `-D js_engine=duktape` configure option.
This task depends upon

Note that during build time, there are a couple of warnings about FORTIFY_SOURCE when generating GIRs. I'm not sure if this is safe to ignore.

Please do it!

I'd rather not we jump the gun here, especially if Duktape needs patches to work properly. This makes it sound like a poor choice compared to mozjs.

I plan to use js91 with the next polkit release.

@heftig, duktape's packaging needs to be fixed, not duktape. Sorry for the incorrect wording.
