    I'm curious about the mention of gnome-keyring being deprecated. I
    haven't heard anything about that. Where might I find more information
    about that, and what is the intended replacement?


    Hi,

    xul-ext-gnome-keyring depends on libgnome-keyring that is deprecated in favour of libsecret for use with applications such as gnome-keyring.

    Regards

    Phil

    xul-ext-gnome-keyring depends on libgnome-keyring that is deprecated in favour
    of libsecret for use with applications such as gnome-keyring.

    I've adjusted the changelog in svn to clarify the situation.

    gnome-keyring, an implementation of the "Secret Service" D-Bus API, is
    still a core part of GNOME. libgnome-keyring, an old library for
    communicating with gnome-keyring, was superseded by libsecret,
    a library for communicating with Secret Service implementations.
