malcontent/README.md

malcontent
==========

malcontent implements support for restricting the abilities of
non-administrator accounts on a Linux system. Typically, when this is
used, a non-administrator account will be for a child using the system; and the
administrator accounts will be for the parents.

It provides an accounts service vendor extension for storing an app filter to
restrict the child’s access to certain applications; and a simple library for
accessing and applying the app filter.

All the library APIs are currently unstable and are likely to change wildly.

Bug reports and patches should be filed in
[GitLab](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pwithnall/malcontent).
-												Rename project from eos-parental-controls to malcontent

Rename the library from libeos-parental-controls to libmalcontent, and
the client from eos-parental-controls-client to malcontent-client.

This was done using the following mechanical edits, and no other
changes:
```
git search-replace -f EPC///MCT
git search-replace -f Epc///Mct
git search-replace -f epc///mct
git search-replace -f eos_parental_controls///malcontent
git search-replace -f eos-parental-controls///malcontent
git search-replace -f EosParentalControls///Malcontent
git search-replace -f 'eos\\-parental\\-controls///malcontent'
git search-replace -f 'Since: 0.1.0///Since: 0.2.0'
```

Note that the accounts-service extension interface has *not* been
renamed, as that would revert people’s parental controls settings in
existing deployments.

-												debian: Drop Debian support

This a relic from being hosted in Endless’ GitHub, and being built
directly for Debian. There’s no need to carry this upstream —
distributions can add their own packaging as needed.
