Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : pass-secret-service
Version : no release published
Upstream Contact: Matthias Dellweg <https://github.com/mdellweg>
* URL : https://github.com/mdellweg/pass_secret_service/
* License : GPL-3
Programming Lang: Python
Description : dbus-service to serve secret-service api with pass backend

Expose the libsecret dbus api with pass as backend.

----

I am not aware of any other wrapper around pass that provides a
standard interface for other applications to store their secrets into
it, is anyone else?

Requirements mention a few problematic deps:

git+https://github.com/mdellweg/python-dbus-next@master
secretstorage (python library not packaged in Debian)

It also depends on pypass, but that's already packaged in Debian
(interesting!).

Hi Antoine,

I'm started here:

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pass-secret-service

So far, it doesn't work for me.
Maybe I'm missing sth. about D-Bus activation?

Any help appreciated, because I'm a little bit short on time.

Cheers

Btw. I tested with Gajim, which uses python3-keyring, and configured

~/.config/python_keyring/keyringrc.cfg

with:

[backend]
default-keyring=keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring

Not yet, and I'm pretty much -ENOTIME. Will just leave things as they
are in salsa, until somebody (you, me, whoever) has more time.
