erc.el uses auth-source.el so I agree this makes sense to add to
erc-services.el. Compared to Rudolf's proposed patch, I think this will
have the advantage of less code and easier integration for the user.
Maybe something like this (in the authinfo+.json format) would work for
the users?
machine MyService login myuser password mysecret
machine freenode login user1 password secret1
machine freenode login user2 password secret2
[
{ "machine": "MyService", "login": "myuser", "password": "mysecret" },
{ "machine": "freenode", "login": "user1", "password": "secret1" },
{ "machine": "freenode", "login": "user2", "password": "secret2" }
]
so then you'd just call:
(auth-source-search :host "MyService" :user "myuser")
auth-source-pass.el provides a backend for auth-source.el, so it will be
usable like all the other storage backends (.gpg files, plain files,
JSON files, Secrets API, etc). I don't think any extra work will be
required on the ERC side or the user side.
