So secret I actually can't find any information on it :s

For a piece of software we use in our company we use gnome-keyring.
Recently ksecrets is pulled in when I update my system.
This interferes with gnome-keyring while it doesn't give me any useful features(or maybe it does however I don't notice).

If I google for this project I can find sourcecode however NO info at all about what it actually is/does.

When I uninstall it everything works as before so it might be that a meta package on gentoo pulls this in why it is not really needed.

So is there anyone here who could tell me what ksecrets is actually used for?

Thanks in advance!

KSecrets is a KDE implementation of the FreeDesktop.org Secrets specification. GNOME Keyring is being adjusted to use this specification as well as far as I am aware.

As far as I was aware, KSecrets was not actually ready for complete production yet however.

Thanks for your reply!
I am using kde 4.8.1 (not "stable" iirc).
So I shouldn't have issues with ksecrets in the future.

Seems like they are actually still drafting this specification :s
Strange that they include it already in KDE 4.8.1 (however that's probably because of the metapackage I used to install kde)
