[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 6319] New: use KWallet instead of GNOME keyring

http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6319 Summary: use KWallet instead of GNOME keyring Classification: Moblin Projects Product: SyncEvolution Version: upstream Platform: Netbook OS/Version: Moblin Linux Status: ASSIGNED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: * Feature Request AssignedTo: syncevolution(a)lists.intel.com ReportedBy: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com CC: syncevolution(a)lists.intel.com Release Milestone: Undecided As discussed when adding support for the GNOME keyring to the "syncevolution" command line tool (bug #3604) and on the mailing list ("desktop platform dependencies in syncevo-dbus-server: keyring, network monitoring"), using KDE's KWallet instead of the GNOME keyring would be nice if the users wants that. Priority depends on demand for this feature. The choice should be automatic, if possible. The Python keyring library apparently solves this also automatically, with the possibility to override it: Configure your keyring lib The python keyring lib contains implementations for several backends, including OSX Keychain, Gnome Keyring, KDE Kwallet and etc. The lib will automatically choose the keyring that is most suitable for your current environment. You can also specify the keyring you like to be used in the config file or by calling the set_keyring() function. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring/ Probably we can look at the code and use the same mechanism to detect the "most suitable" keyring. In addition, we need a global configuration option to override the automatism. The syncevo-dbus-server and the command line should both be able to read all keyrings. In the command line we should rethink the "--keyring" parameter: --keyring[=on] by default, --keyring=off, --keyring=GNOME|KDE? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
