Dear Maintainer, Hello, upstream has moved on from yubioath-desktop to a rewrite in flutter and is not maintaining yubioath-desktop 5.x currently. The releases page for upstream: https://developers.yubico.com/yubioath-flutter/Releases/ Now it is renamed to yubico-authenticator 6.x since November of 2022. Notes: The yubioath-desktop 5.x UI "minimize" is not compatible with Gnome 43; If you minimize or "x" close the window it disappears never to be seen again, and trying to run yubioath-desktop from the launcher results in an error "Yubico Authenticator is already running." and there is no "Quit" option on the right- click menu from the launcher or from the application itself. At a guess the yubioath-desktop 5.x is using some system tray API minimize deprecated in Gnome 43. Anyhow... there's no path to upstream a fix since yubioath-desktop is deprecated in favor of yubico-authenticator 6.x flutter rewrite. The build of yubico-authenticator 6.2.0 provided at the upstream releases page runs and minimize/restore UI operations do function correctly.
E Shattow, 2023-04-21 20:33 -0400: This appears to be blocked by the absence of fluttersdk in debian (see the RFP at #931793). Once the flutter SDK and dart are in debian, I'd be happy to update yubioath-desktop or, perhaps, create a new package for the flutter rewrite. Taowa
retitle 1034701 RFP: yubioath-flutter -- Yubico Authenticator for Desktop and Android reassign 1034701 wnpp severity 1034701 wishlist affects 1034701 yubioath-desktop thanks I believe that the rewrite should be packaged as a separate Debian package (reasons: different codebase and different project name), so I'm reassigning this as a Request-For-Package bug. /Simon
