Hi all

as I really don't like idea of storing clear text passwords, I hacked support for GNOME Keyring in osc (see attached patch). If keyring is available, login credentials are stored and read from keyring and it stores them in a secure way. Is there a chance to get such change merged?

First thanks for your patch but I'm a bit hesitant to add a gnome dependency to osc (although it's optional). What about if we simply store the password base64 encoded in the ~/.oscrc file? Wouldn't this be sufficient?
