Hi, the GNOME Keyring and KDE Wallet developers have agreed a common API, called Secret Services, to access their password repositories. This API is D-Bus based, see <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec>.
I have written a small package, secrets.el, which uses this API to read and write passwords. It is tested with GNOME Keyring 2.29.90; a public KWallet implementation is not available yet. I intend to use it in Tramp; it will also be proposed to be added to GNU Emacs after the 23.2 release. It might also be applicable in XEmacs, once D-Bus support has been added there. However, it might be useful to apply this package somewhere else as well. One idea is to integrate it into auth-sources.el, as configurable alternative to the ~/authinfo.gpg password store. What do people think? Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
