:hammer_and_wrench: Philip Withnall submitted a patch:
This bumps polkit's GLib dependency to 2.49.4, but enables new features such as message IDs for log messages, inclusion of various key parameters as separate fields, and (probably most importantly) coloured log output.
A custom log writer function is used to preserve the original behaviour of outputting everything to the journal, and outputting debug messages to stdout unless --no-debug is specified.

Description
Using the new GLib structured logging support, send structured log messages to journald. This simplifies polkit's logging code a little, and allows more information to be sent to the journal. Specifically, MESSAGE_IDs can now be sent; and connecting directly to the journal means it will get the right process information.
This bumps the GLib dependency to 2.49.4.
