[opensuse-buildservice] Disable generating plain text passwords
Hi I don't think it is necessary for osc to still save plain text password in ~/.oscrc. Is there any good reason for still doing so? Attached patch removes this functionality. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I don't know what passx is, but please still keep a method which allows noninteractive use of osc, which means: no requirement to enter a password in order to run osc! -- With best regards, Carsten Hoeger

passx is obfuscated password, it will still work non interactively, it is just slightly harder to see password in ~/.oscrc. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

passx is just the obfuscated password, and it seems to stay in. To decode: echo $passxvalue | base64 -d | bzcat Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
