Yeah, packagers don't like bundles libraries at all :)
New external libraries are ok but of course additional effort

helpful.
What they have no problem with is library that are already
packaged, which for
Qt Keychains seems to be the case at least here on Debian.
I'm unsure about QtKeychain -- it looks like a promising project, but it became
a part of e.g. Gentoo only 16 days ago. We will also either have to maintain an
OBS package or ship it within the Trojita tree (with a switch to use the
systemwide copy if desired, of course) if it becomes a hard dependency. On the
other hand, it's wasteful to reimplement it just for the sake of not requiring
it.
Opinions welcome -- my goal is to be able to:
- provide OBS packaging of Trojita with reasonable level of funcitonality for
multiple systems (see the list of already supported ones, some of them are
ancient),
- make it reasonably easy to build Trojita by hand for users,
- not complicate matters too much to Trojita developers
Cheers,
Jan
