Comment 18 for bug 686690

Thanks Leonard and Gary. This sounds fine to me.

If you want to discontinue support for the per-application credentials, we need to re-do all existing credentials files on our servers, but that's not a biggie. I'd really love you forever/buy you a beer if credentials_file could continue to work (especially as it's now more focussed on servers where you want to keep those files around forever), but if you really don't want to keep it, I can live with that.

That already has been the case for a long time, for the record. I don't know a current project (ubuntu-dev-scripts, ubuntu-archive-tools, apport, langpack-o-matic, etc.) which doesn't use login_with(). :-)

Thanks for resolving this!
