Mate is a lite desktop forked from gnome2. Most of the work is done by Jeremy Messenger (mezz@). The only thing I did was update a few ports to later 1.6 release and attempting to keep up with ports infra changes. Resulting bugs are all mine. Mate is a sort of replacement for Gnome 2. So people wanting to keep a Gnome 2 like desktop should switch. Gnome 2 will be replaced by Gnome 3 in the near future. This switch will be announce with a transition time so people have more time to switch if they haven't already. This release was made possible by everyone that send friendly pokes to keep mate on my mind. Approved by: portmgr (bapt)

Mate-keyring is a program that keep password and other secrets for
|
|
users. It is run as a damon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
|
|
other applications can locate it by an environment variable.
|
|
|
|
The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master
|
|
password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to
|
|
disk, but forgotten when the session ends.
|
|
|
|
The library libmatekeyring is used by applications to integrate with
|
|
the MATE keyring system. However, at this point the library hasn't been
|
|
tested and used enought to consider the API to be publically
|
|
exposed. Therefore use of libmatekeyring is at the moment limited to
|
|
internal use in the MATE desktop. However, we hope that the
|
|
mate-keyring API will turn out useful and good, so that later it
|
|
can be made public for any application to use.
