Recently I needed to manually enable a "secret" USE flag for a package and I remembered that finally this issue was still pending since: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/5c127aed355ee19d15ac38e114097f74 (2014) https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/6005bcbec69709b02f1ed0f678e2ae46 (2021) In summary I think the most consensous was on migrating to more general "keyring" USE flag and only rely on specific "gnome-keyring", "kwallet" when more options are available for the same package I open then the bug for trying to "push" a bit the migration... but I guess a first step would be to add "keyring" to profiles/use.desc: keyring - Enable support for storing passwords
What about these packages: mate-extra/mate-power-manager: libsecret - Support locking of keyring via app-crypt/libsecret net-p2p/retroshare: autologin - Enables potentially insecure autologin capability via app-crypt/libsecret Otherwise there are app-crypt/zulucrypt and x11-plugins/wmudmount with "libsecret" having the exact same meaning as gnome-keyring/keyring. To incorporate all these uses, we could choose a more broad description such as "Enable support for freedesktop.org Secret Service API password store" instead of "Enable support for storing passwords via freedesktop.org Secret Service API"
