Hi,
Building KDELibs 4 for Kwallet is as embarrassing as building GNOME
Keyring if not more. Even worse, KDE's installation guides are like
puzzle books. I have to think about tring a binary distribution of
Subversion with GNOME Keyring support. My system is the Cray Linux
Environment (CLE) which is based SuSE Linux. I wonder if the openSUSE
build may work on the system. Another trouble is that I don't have root
access unable to do RPM installation. Is there a non-RPM binary package
that I can unpack in a non-root user directory?
Thanks,
Yudong

Hi,
I am trying to build Subversion 1.6.12 with GNOME Keyring support. I
have tried GNOME Keyring 2.30.3 downloaded from
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/gnome-keyring-13111.shtml
The configure and make of this GNOME Keyring version have been done
with two pkg-config files created: gcr-0.pc and gp11-0.pc but no
gnome-keyring-1.pc generated.
I have also tried to install GNOME Keyring 2.28.2 downloaded from
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/gnome-keyring.html
This version has an endless list of dependencies:
GNOME Keyring 2.28.2: GConf-2.28.0, GTK+-2.18.7, intltool-0.40.6,
Libgcrypt-1.4.5, and libtasn1-2.5
GConf-2.28.0: ORBit2-2.14.17 and polkit-0.94
polkit-0.94: D-Bus GObject Bindings-0.5, intltool-0.40.6,
Linux-PAM-1.1.1, gobject-introspection-0.6.8, and DocBook XML
DTD-4.5
... ...
That looks terrifying. I am almost giving up midway
I'd like to know your experience on building subversion with GNOME
Keyring. Which GNOME Keyring version works well with svn 1.6.12 and
is there an easier way to do it? Your advice will be much
appreciated.
Gnome-keyring's dependencies are outside of the Subversion project's control.
So I'm afraid we cannot do much about it.
Maybe try Kwallet? It might have a smaller list of dependencies.
The easiest way by far is using a distribution that offers readily working
build scripts or binary packages. Most current Linux distributions and *BSD
systems offer precompiled Subversion binaries with gnome-keyring support
enabled.
Another possibility for a long-term fix to this problem would be contributing
patches to Subversion that allow Subversion to encrypt passwords using GPGme.
I'd very much appreciate any effort in this direction.
