4. Technical Description
1.0 Description:
1.1 Project Detail
This project proposes to deprecate GNOME Keyring Manager in Solairs.
GNOME Keyring Manager is a graphical key management tool for GNOME.
GNOME Keyring Manager allows the user to create, delete and
otherwise manipulate keys and keyrings which can be used to store
passwords.
Seahorse is a functional replacement for GNOME Keyring Manager and
is the GNOME community replacement for GNOME Keyring Manager, which
has already been made obsolete by the GNOME community.
1.2 Packaging and Release Binding
GNOME Keyring Manager alone with the SVr4 SUNWgnome-keyring-manager
package family will be removed .
1.3 Documentation
A man page was shipped with GNOME Keyring Manager. It will be removed too.
1.4 Dependency
The removal of this project is dependent upon the integration of the
Seahorse (LSARC/2008/664) which will be integrated into Solaris (after
snv_106). GNOME Keyring Manager will be removed with the integration of
Seahorse.
Seahorse is the GNOME community replacement and that the GNOME community
has already made GNOME Keyring Manager obsolete.
