[$] The KeePassXC kerfuffle

Post Syndicated from jzb original https://lwn.net/Articles/973782/

KeePassXC is an open-source (GPLv3),
cross-platform password manager with local-only data storage. The
project comes with a number of build
options
that can be used to toggle optional features, such as browser
integration
and password
database sharing
. However, controversy ensued when Debian Developer Julian Klode decided to
make use of these compile flags to disable these features to improve security in the
keepassxc package uploaded to Debian unstable for the
upcoming Debian 13 (“Trixie”) release.
