Package: git Version: 1:2.24.1+next.20191209-1 Severity: wishlist Currently, anyone who wants to store passwords with Git in a secure way must build their own credential helpers from the files in /usr/share/doc. This leads users to use less secure ways of storing passwords, such as using URLs with passwords in them or using the git credential-store helper.
It would be great if the libsecret credential helper could be built in its own package so that folks could easily use it. The gnome-keyring one is not required because it implements the libsecret API and so is redundant. If you wanted to create a generic package, you could also add the netrc credential helper, although I believe that's no longer required with recent versions of libcurl. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages git depends on: ii git-man 1:2.24.1+next.20191209-1 ii libc6 2.29-6 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.67.0-2 ii liberror-perl 0.17028-1 ii libexpat1 2.2.9-1 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.34-7 ii perl 5.30.0-9 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1+b1 Versions of packages git recommends: ii ca-certificates 20190110 ii less 551-1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:8.1p1-2 ii patch 2.7.6-6 Versions of packages git suggests: ii gettext-base 0.19.8.1-10 pn git-cvs <none> pn git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit <none> pn git-doc <none> pn git-el <none> ii git-email 1:2.24.1+next.20191209-1 pn git-gui <none> pn git-mediawiki <none> pn git-svn <none> pn gitk <none> pn gitweb <none> -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
