Package: gnome-keyring Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream patch I would like a command-line tool to get and set passwords from the keyring included in the gnome-keyring package.
The attached program does this. It is public domain; it was declared as such in the Gentoo wiki article where I got it. I wrote the attached manual page as I wanted to package this up for Debian. (See my ITP, bug #505633.) It's currently GPL v2-or-later. If the packaging for gnome-keyring is different, I'm open to relicensing; just ask. I've filed a request upstream to include this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561582 Thanks, Richard
