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? ------- Comment #1 From jku 2010-03-24 09:46:55 PST (-) [reply] ------- FYI: there is a org.freedesktop.secrets interface spec with some progress: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec This should be excellent for us. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
