Bug 423605 – dev-vcs/git: install OS X keychain credential helper

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Qiangning Hong 2012-06-26 09:32:50 UTC]

Starting from version 1.7.9, git can cache credentials used when accessing remotes over HTTP; this helper provides integration with the OS X keychain.

I copied git-1.7.10.2.ebuild from the portage and make a patch to install git-credential-osxkeychain if $ARCH ends with "-macos".

Reproducible: Always

Seems like an acceptable idea to me, assigning to maintainer

After further review, you should be checking for CHOST instead of ARCH.

if [[ ${CHOST} == *-darwin* ]]; then
    foo
fi

Use $CHOST instead of $ARCH to identify the OS.

Thank darkside for the review.
