+--[ Messing with pkg_info and ditching password-store
+
+
+This week has been a tinkering one where I haven't been doing anything
+very productive. It has been so long since I properly used C, so I am
+working my way through a book on C programming as a refresher. I was
+recommended a game, Tales of Maj'Eyal [0], on IRC [1] and I have been
+hooked on that most of the day! As a sidenote, I am pleasantly surprised
+with the games available on OpenBSD so far.
+
+
+I did notice at the beginning of the week that bash somehow ended up
+installed on my system, since I use ksh and never installed it directly
+it must be a package dependency. I managed to track it down to the
+password-store [2] utility.
+
+
+ $ pkg_info -R bash
+
+
+Looking at the package dependencies it also requires a few other
+packages I never use.
+
+
+ $ pkg_info -f password-store | grep @depend
+
+ @depend converters/base64:base64-*:base64-1.5p0
+ @depend devel/git,-main:git-*:git-2.37.3
+ @depend graphics/libqrencode:libqrencode-*:libqrencode-4.1.1
+ @depend misc/gnugetopt:gnugetopt-*:gnugetopt-1.1.6p2
+ @depend security/gnupg:gnupg->=2.2.23p1:gnupg-2.2.39
+ @depend shells/bash:bash-*:bash-5.1.16
+ @depend sysutils/colortree:colortree-*:colortree-1.8.0
+ @depend x11/xclip:xclip-*:xclip-0.13p1
+
+
+While I use some of these, all the extras have an estimated file size of
+just over 100MB in total. This seems a bit excessive for my usecase and
+is something that I basically use as front end to GPG.
+
+
+ $ pkg_info -s password-store bash libqrencode colortree gnugetopt
+
+
+I use pass in a few applications such as fdm and senpai, the rest of the
+time it's just for website logins, so I really don't need all the
+features that pass provides. I just wrote a script that uses my current
+pass folder of GPG encrypted files to send these to dmenu. For the
+applications, I just added a flag that outputs the pass to stdout
+instead.
+
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+ # pass.sh
+
+ if [ "$1" = '-c' ]; then
+ [ -f "$2" ] && gpg -q --decrypt "$2" | head -n1 | tr -d '\n'
+ exit 0
+ fi
+
+ password=$(find "${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR}" -type f -name '*.gpg' |
+ sed 's/.*\/\(.*\)\.gpg$/\1/' | dmenu -i -p "Pass:")
+
+ [ -n "$password" ] &&
+ gpg -q --decrypt "${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR}/$password.gpg" |
+ head -n1 | tr -d '\n' | xclip
+
+
+In DWM I just added a keybind for the pass.sh script and for
+applications I just pass in the -c flag, so for fdm I just do this:
+
+
+ $imap_pass = $(pass.sh -c ~/.pass/myimappass.gpg)
+
+
+100MB of packages replaced by a few lines of shell script, nice! If
+I ever need to update the passwords or generate a new one I can just use
+GPG like normal.
+
+
+ $ openssl rand -base64 32 | gpg -e -o ~/.pass/mynewpass.gpg
