Hello Tom,

I have not tested yet whether the current upstream version of AusweisApp
works on Bookworm and I'm not sure whether the backport makes sense
given the fact that Trixie will be released on Saturday.

Are you not planning to upgrade to Trixie soon?

If there are any specific issues with the version in Bookworm, please let
me know.

Adrian

Hello Adrian,

It makes sense, most debian stable users will appreciate it and the
upstream authors
do not commit to CVE's, so I strongly recommend not to use outdated versions
for security concerns. A backport to bullseye was not possible due to
Qt6 deps.

It's running fine so far on the RPI, not fully tested because I've got
no PIN letter
for the old ePerso/eID card because in 2010 I was in political
opposition to eID,
I get an new card the next weeks.

All GUI works and random PIN/PUK and network server operations work so
far, too,
logs are fine.

Better than Windows 11 Version which does not detect my CSL/Alcor card
Reader
or Windows 11 is broken again, reported to
support.ausweisapp2@governikus.de
but only stupid FAQ answer received.

I've orderd a Reiner SCT Cyberjack Basis RFID reader which is on the card
reader support list, to be sure.

Yes, as stated in my report, apt follows stable arm64 automatically on
the PI here:
"APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500,
'stable')"

I will, thank You, I need it for faster communication with courts and
offices,
paper letters are too slow,
e.g. using Mein Justizportal which needs a Bund ID account and eID card.

Hello Tom,

Are there any CVEs that you are aware of? If no, there is no urgent reason
for an upgrade. Debian Stable like most LTS distributions doesn't update
packages to their latest version by choice. This is to prevent users from
breaking changes which can always happen with new upstream versions.

I'm not saying updating packages through backports is generally a bad idea,
I'm providing such updates. But it's also wrong to insist on having the latest
version in the archives for Debian stable when there is no urgent need for it.

It's good to know that when I consider looking into backporting the package
for Debian Bookworm. I have not decided yet whether I'm going to do that.

Well, unless you have fully tested the functionality of the updated package
on Debian Bookworm, you can't really be sure that the backport works. It
might still be broken due to compatibility issues with OpenSSL, for example.

That still doesn't prove that it fully works.

There can still be many ways the application may not work properly, hence we
need to fully test it when backporting. Being less broken than on Windows 11
shouldn't be our standard, really.

That's the one I'm using as well.

FWIW, I have backported the latest 2.3.2 version for Debian Trixie now:

https://tracker.debian.org/news/1669156/accepted-ausweisapp2-232-1bpo131-source-amd64-all-into-stable-backports/

Sure. I just need to know when there are any issues with the package. I don't
need reports that confirm the application works fine. I already know that ;-).

Adrian
