Yes the package is available in Amazon Linux 2.

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

The gnome-keyring daemon from AL2023 was removed from Amazon Linux 2023 during the slimming exercise prior to release. However, the git-credential-libsecret package requires gnome-keyring daemon.

A potential alternate "solution" would be to also remove the git-credential-libsecret package as part of the slimming process, as it is unusable without gnome-keyring or an alternate keyring provider.

Since we've shipped it, we don't want to remove it, as that could break existing customers.

We're looking at options here to providing the dbus api that libsecret talks to so that this is more usable out-of-the-box.

+1 to this. Axway software is currently the only way to connect to certain Federal Reserve systems and it has a hard dependency on gnome-keyring. Any processes connecting to these Fed systems after the EOL date for Amazon Linux 2 will likely need to switch to a different Linux distribution.

We are unlikely to ship gnome-keyring without the rest of gnome in the context of a graphical desktop, which is a different conversation (and not something completely off the table at this point, though I am not in a position to promise anything at this stage).
