Hello, this thread seems to be stale, but I'd still like to have the libsecret credential helper present in Debian repository.
I tested the submitted patch and did some adjustments so that the package actually builds. I did it against 2.20 because I was not able to find git branch for current stable 2.30.2, but when I tried on the downloaded 2.30.2 sources, the patch applied with one minimal change. I will be happy to modify to the last stable if you point me to it. (The debian-stable branch points to 2.20). I also tested the resulting 2.30 package on my Bullseye machine and it installs and works fine (it's just not listed in `git help -a`, but I'm not sure that it should be). Can we ressurect the discussion and progress with this topic? Best regards, Vit Kabele -- >8 -- Create a new package git-libsecret that builds the libsecret compatible git credentials helper as a new package.
