[PATCH v2 00/16] Make Gnome Credential helper more Gnome-y and support ancient distros

Message-ID
<1379962157-1338-1-git-send-email-bcasey@nvidia.com>
From: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com>
Mostly unchanged.

Inserts a patch to fix the style issues for block statements. i.e. use "if ()" instead of "if()"

A couple early patches were reordered to improve logical flow.

Updated the comment in the last patch to hopefully improve clarity wrt RHEL 4.X

The only functional change is in 14/16 "report failure to store". We should accept GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_CANCELLED as a successful return and _not_ produce an error message.

Interdiff follows...
Brandon Casey (16):
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: remove unnecessary
    pre-declarations
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: remove unused die() function
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: *style* use "if ()" not "if()"
    etc.
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: add static where applicable
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: exit non-zero when called
    incorrectly
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: strlen() returns size_t, not
    ssize_t
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: ensure buffer is non-empty
    before accessing
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: set Gnome application name
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use gnome helpers in
    keyring_object()
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory functions
    for passwds
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory for reading
    passwords
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use glib memory allocation
    functions
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use glib messaging functions
  contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: report failure to store
    password
