Title: Pwm/pi In Openzaurus
Post by: MeaninglessNick on February 18, 2005, 04:04:47 pm

Has anyone thought about/tried packaging pwm/pi (the password manager from kdepim/pi) for openzaurus?  I might eventually get motivated to do so (I have not got an OZ cross compilation environment going yet), but not if there insoluable confilicts etc...

One day I will try to package it correctly. It's in my ToDo list but there are always more important things. Probably I will first split kdepim/pi stuff into separate BitBake files - to build kdepim/pi without libstdc++ dependency and pwm/pi with it (or maybe Zautrix will rewrite it to not use STL).

Anyway to store passwords you can use ZSafe (opie-zsafe package) or Keyring (keyring package).

to store passwords, another option is to use portabase. very useful if you need to keep the same data on zaurus, linux deskotp and windows.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It looks like either portabase or zsafe would work
for me in a pinch (both are packaged for debian, so that is easy).  The thing I like about pwm/pi is synching. It looks like something can be faked using text import/export.

Is it just me or is the zsafe interface on the desktop a bit bizarre?  There is e.g. no
cancel/ok buttons when adding an entry. Maybe this works better on kde or something.  I am using xfce4

zsafe on desktop is weird - UI was not changed

Today I managed to build pwm/pi for OpenZaurus - have to test on device does it work correctly. So it will be available in OZ 3.5.3 and other newer releases of distributions created by OpenEmbedded.
