  • [gentoo-dev] USE-flag gnome-keyring isn't accurate anymore

    From tastytea@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 23 22:40:01 2021
    Hi! I've noticed that the gnome-keyring use-flag is not accurate
    anymore for most packages. The only ebuilds with that flag that depend
    on gnome-base/gnome-keyring seem to be[1] sys-auth/pambase and mate-base/mate-session-manager.
    All others depend on app-crypt/libsecret, which depends on virtual/secret-service.
    virtual/secret-service currently depends on gnome-base/gnome-keyring or app-admin/keepassxc and KSecretService will be added too once upstream
    is ready.

    That's confusing for users of a secret service provider other than gnome-keyring, so I propose we find a new use-flag.

    x11-plugins/wmudmount already uses “secret” and mate-extra/mate-power-manager uses “libsecret”.

    I think “secret” may be too generic and “libsecret” is not ideal in case
    an implemention comes along that is named differently. How about “secret-service”?

    Previously discussed in <https://bugs.gentoo.org/829730>.

    Kind regards, tastytea

    [1] I did a rather naive search with
    `grep -Er 'gnome-keyring\?.*gnome-keyring' \
    $(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo)`

    And "keyring"? I am not sure if users not familiar with "libsecret" will understand what "secret*" means in this context

    Definitely a good idea. And I second "keyring", seeing as this term is also in use on other OSes.

    "keyring" conveys the appropriate meaning, imho.

    It seems that keyring won the popular vote. There is now a bug and a PR:
