[gentoo-user] Remplacement for FPM

[gentoo-user] Remplacement for FPM

[Xavier-Francois Roblot]

Hi, I saw this morning that FPM is slated for removal from portage with
the forthcoming removal of Gnome 1.x. 

Can someone point me to a viable replacement for it? I need something
that can: 1) store passwords (obviously); 2) generate passwords; 3) have
launchers as FPM does. The possibility to import FPM passwords would be
a nice feature to have to :)

I am answering to my own email: it looks like revelation
http://oss.codepoet.no/revelation/ which is available in some overlays
(like break-my-gentoo-main) meets most of the requirements.

Probably no longer of interest to the initial poster, but I've also
been on the look-out for something similar, so..

There is a port of fpm to GTK+2:
"FPM2 is GTK2 port from Figaro's Password Manager originally developed
by John Conneely, with some new features." [1]

It seems actively maintained, as of July 2008. I've also found an
ebuild [2] for the latter. The port is a pure GTK+2 application, i.e.
there are no Gnome dependencies. Revelation is in Portage, but Gnome
dependent and no longer maintained since 2007.

If anyone knows other candidates, please post here.

Regards,
Liviu
