Package: source:pinentry
Version: 0.9.3-3
Severity: normal
The main goal of pinentry-tty is a barebones, minimalist pinentry.
pinentry-curses is for working on machines with no graphical
environment, which also tends to be a minimal use case.
Linking pinentry-tty against libsecret drags in glib and everything
else related to it. They're still slimmer than the other pinentries,
but much fatter than necessary.
A list of external library dependencies for each one:
0 dkg@alice:~/tmp$ for x in tty curses gnome3 qt4 gtk-2; do printf "%3d %s\n"
"$(ldd "$(which "pinentry-$x")" | wc -l)" "$x"; done
17 tty
19 curses
64 gnome3
40 qt4
54 gtk-2
0 dkg@alice:~/tmp$
We should trim down -tty and -curses, and leave the libsecret linking
for the graphical pinentries.
