Hi! I've noticed that the gnome-keyring use-flag is not accurate
anymore for most packages. The only ebuilds with that flag that depend
on gnome-base/gnome-keyring seem to be[1] sys-auth/pambase and mate-base/mate-session-manager.
All others depend on app-crypt/libsecret, which depends on virtual/secret-service.
virtual/secret-service currently depends on gnome-base/gnome-keyring or app-admin/keepassxc and KSecretService will be added too once upstream
is ready.

That's confusing for users of a secret service provider other than gnome-keyring, so I propose we find a new use-flag.

x11-plugins/wmudmount already uses “secret” and mate-extra/mate-power-manager uses “libsecret”.

I think “secret” may be too generic and “libsecret” is not ideal in case
an implemention comes along that is named differently. How about “secret-service”?

Previously discussed in <https://bugs.gentoo.org/829730>.

Kind regards, tastytea

[1] I did a rather naive search with
`grep -Er 'gnome-keyring\?.*gnome-keyring' \
$(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo)`

And "keyring"? I am not sure if users not familiar with "libsecret" will understand what "secret*" means in this context

Definitely a good idea. And I second "keyring", seeing as this term is also in use on other OSes.

"keyring" conveys the appropriate meaning, imho.

It seems that keyring won the popular vote. There is now a bug and a PR:
