Hi! I've noticed that the gnome-keyring use-flag is not accurate
anymore for most packages. The only ebuilds with that flag that depend
on gnome-base/gnome-keyring seem to be[1] sys-auth/pambase and
mate-base/mate-session-manager.
All others depend on app-crypt/libsecret, which depends on
virtual/secret-service.
virtual/secret-service currently depends on gnome-base/gnome-keyring or
app-admin/keepassxc and KSecretService will be added too once upstream
is ready.

That's confusing for users of a secret service provider other than
gnome-keyring, so I propose we find a new use-flag.

x11-plugins/wmudmount already uses “secret” and
mate-extra/mate-power-manager uses “libsecret”.

I think “secret” may be too generic and “libsecret” is not ideal in case
an implemention comes along that is named differently. How about
“secret-service”?

Previously discussed in <https://bugs.gentoo.org/829730>.

Kind regards, tastytea

`grep -Er 'gnome-keyring\?.*gnome-keyring' \
    $(portageq get_repo_path / gentoo)`
