Like I said, from pass's documentation (I just added the links): -

[...snip...]

This is all `default` (it's in the main repository distribution) so I do not understand. Also, I believe those distributions are the main linux families (every other in a way or another deriving from one of those).

So I must misunderstand the term `default` package, can you explicit it for me?

Maybe I'm splitting hairs but when I think of a "standard" or "default" package I think of things like coreutils that are installed automatically when I installed my operating system. --text follows this line-- Ok. I understand what you mean now. From this definition, neither is xmonad then.

Think about it this way: since xmonad is in the "main repository distribution" for many operating systems, would you call it a "standard" package?

With my definition (something like `available for install in standard distribution's packages repository`), I give earlier, yes. With your definition (which clarifies thing), no. (By the way, a subject for another time, it would be good to have a distribution which proposed xmonad as default.)

Just because I can install a package doesn't mean it's a "standard" package. I'm sure my operating system has dozens of password managers to choose from, just like it has dozens of windows managers. I would only call one of them the "standard" package if it was automatically installed by the base system.

Ok. Let me put it this way, using your definition: - XMonad/XMonad-contrib are not standard packages - pass is not standard package - XMonad.Prompt.Pass uses pass (as implementation) Conclusion: We are not standard, we do not integrate this contribution because you are not standard. Do you think it's reasonable? I do not. We have an expression in France for that: `l'hopital qui se moque de la charite` :D The translation is: `it's the pot calling the kettle blackSee`. (I learned a new expression) -- Also, to clarify, the name `XMonad.Prompt.Pass` is named like `pass` but is not named after `pass`. It's just I prefer conciseness where I can and `password` was too long. Also, the names in XMonad seems pretty concise too. Cheers, -- @ardumont
