Hi Jon,

I'm replying to an old thread; see below. Is there any chance we can get
pam-keyring in by default for Fedora 8? If yes, how about creating a
Wiki page for the feature much like the ones Matthias created for other
F8 bound features as mentioned here

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2007-May/msg00167.html

so we can track the progress and everyone can get an overview of what
work is required etc. Thanks!

     David
