#44473: make kwallet use the OS X KeyChain as a backend, instead of kwalletd
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  rjvbertin@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:  haspatch     |       Port:  kdelibs4
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 It turns out kdelibs4's code and build system already provide the
 necessary elements to use OS X's KeyChain as a backend for the KDE Wallet,
 rather than kwalletd. As described on the mailing list this is not (yet) a
 perfect integration in the sense that it currently uses KDE-specific
 instead of reusable (from OS X apps) entries, but it's better than a
 completely separate password storage system.

 The snippet to add to the kdelibs4 portfile is below. I'm not attaching a
 diff to this ticket as my kdelibs4 portfile currently contains other
 additional variants under testing (but I could generate one if really
 required).

 {{{
 variant osxkeychain description {kwallet uses the OSX KeyChain} {}
 if { [variant_isset osxkeychain] } {
      configure.args-append -DMAC_USE_OSXKEYCHAIN:BOOL=ON
 }
 }}}
