BASE64 is as good as no encryption at all. Trying to obfuscate has nothing to do with securing anything. Of course it has nothing to do with security but it prevents others from "stealing" one's password by just "looking over the shoulder". I thought this was his main concern.
The patch looks like it takes quiet nicely care of skipping in case it's not available... maybe it can be extended with a configure parameter, if it should try to be used at all: use-gkm: 1 in ~/.oscrc
Yes you're right the patch itself looks good. Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
