Index of /~torfer/upload-ausweisapp
Here you find backports of the German eID client AusweisApp for Debian
'stable' or 'oldstable'. They are unofficial backports made by doing
minor changes to the official source packages released in Debian's
'unstable' or 'testing' repositories.
There are backports of these AusweisApp versions:
- 2.2.2 (for bookworm)
- 2.3.1 (for bookworm)
- 2.3.2 (for bookworm)
The backports are available as zip files here:
https://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~torfer/upload-ausweisapp/
After downloading a zip file and unpacking it:
With the backported software package (i.e. the collection of files
ending in .dsc, .gz, and .xz) you may inspect and verify the software,
and then build installation packages (i.e. files ending in .deb) for
stable/oldstable yourself - and install them. Read the README file
inside the zip file on how to do this.
Backporting AusweisApp to bookworm:
==================================
Backporting of AusweisApp version 2.2.2 is easier than of version
2.3.x because since 2.3.0 the upstream source contains some QML
documents with a pragma ("pragma ComponentBehavior: Bound") that isn't
fully supported by the Qt6 version available in bookworm (Qt 6.4.2),
due to a Qt bug. This has already been taken care of in the
backports. See the footnotes in the README file inside the zip file
for further information and workarounds, if you are qurious about the
details.
Here you only find backports not already released by Debian. The
official Debian bookworm-backports repository contains (as of
2024-08-12) a backport for AusweisApp version 2.0.1.
There is a bug-report (#1110501) on Debian's bug system about making
it easier to backport to bookworm, and it provides a patch with
essentially the same source change as in the zip files provided here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1110501
Backporting AusweisApp to trixie:
================================
Currently (as of 2025-07-21) there are no new versions to backport to
'trixie'. (Version 2.3.2 will probably propagate into 'trixie', or if
not, will probably be released in the official trixie-backports
repository.)
For some time after 'trixie' has become 'stable', any new AusweisApp
versions in 'testing' might be very easy for yourself to backport to
'trixie' (since it might take some time until Debian's own build tool
chains in 'testing' diverge radically from the tools in 'trixie'):
Then all you have to do might just be (1) to download the source from
'testing' and (2) build it for 'trixie' as is.
If your system is running Debian 'testing' or 'unstable' instead of
'stable', you don't need any of this.

Hier sind zip-Dateien mit AusweisApp backports (Rückportierungen) [1]
die nicht schon in Debians offiziellen Backports-Paketquelle
zugänglich sind [2]:
https://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~torfer/upload-ausweisapp/
In jeder ausweisapp-*zip Datei mit inoffiziellen backport
(Rückportierung) von AusweisApp, zip-Datei entpackt:
Die Datei README-ausweisapp*.txt gibt Information über wie das
offizielle Debian Software Quellcodepaket modifiziert wurde (um
rückportieren), wie man über die Kommandozeile ein solches
Quellcodepaket (*.dsc, *.xz und *.gz Dateien) selbst kompiliert und
(rückportierte) AusweisApp Installationspakete für Debian 'stable'
oder 'oldstable' erstellt (*.deb Dateien) und installiert.
Ein Beispiel von README-ausweisapp*.txt für AusweisApp 2.3.2 für
'bookworm' finden Sie hier (auf Englisch):
