I don't think anyone is advocating completely eliminating functionality, rather relocating some things out of the core into auxiliary scripts that complement the core. For example, taking things like find, mv, and cp out of the core pass script and putting them into other scripts, keeping the core simple and format-agnostic. So yes, if a GUI fails, you should still have complete CLI functionality. Similarly, if, due to oversight, an upgrade to core broke compatibility with an auxiliary script you use, the core is still there, you can still do things manually without convenience scripts. In fact, with pass' simple initial design, you can still work with the GPG files directly if for any reason pass can't do what you want to do. -- Brian Shore Senior Systems Engineer, Security Architect Network Redux, LLC 5200 SW Macadam Ave Ste 450 Portland, Oregon 97239 Desk: 503-274-9905 x503 _______________________________________________ Password-Store mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/password-store
