Description Rex Dieter 2012-01-30 18:33:33 UTC
Now that kde-4.8's implements a common backend with gnome-keyring, try to identify hard-deps on gnome-keyring, and find a way to allow a fully-featured kde-only fedora desktop without gnome-keyring present.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2012-01-30 18:41:40 UTC
Not sure if my understanding of the details here is complete.  For more reading,
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeutils/ksecrets
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Utils/ksecretsservice

It would appear ksecretservice and gnome-kerying are not viable drop-in-replacements for one another (yet).

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2012-01-30 18:51:41 UTC
Well, "no migration tool exists" only means that secrets stored before switching will be lost when switching. It doesn't mean they aren't drop-in replacements as far as the apps are concerned.

The lack of migration means dragging in ksecrets instead of gnome-keyring as an update for F16 would not be that great, but for a new release, I guess we could pull it off with appropriate release notes.

But of course, it'd be better if migration of stored data were easily possible!

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2012-08-08 21:22:59 UTC
meh, kde upstream dropped ksecrets from 4.9.  we can revisit this when they do
