Hey,Yubico has recently published it's EOL notification for the yubikey-manager gui [1]. The yubioath-desktop version which we ship within debian is already >3 years outated (and EOL) as yubico started to rewrite the app in flutter [2]. There is a also a RFP for flutter from 2019, but nobody seems to care or to work on [3].
Over the time this new yubioath-flutter gui was renamed to yubico authenticator and all (or almost all) functionality of the yubikey-manager gui was added. [4] The EOL notification for the old gui is (sadly) the next logical step.
Due to missing dependencies (e.g. dart language [5], flutter [6])we are currently unable to ship the new app. This looks at a first glance as a bunch of work, which I can't handle alone. For me it looks like as if a complete new programming language + gui framework needs to be packaged + a lot of dart packages as dependencies.
== To sum it up:Debian will be no longer able to ship a upstream maintained gui configurator for a security related device, which is also broadly used by fellow DDs. To change the situation a new programming language + gui framework needs to be packaged.
Any suggestions/help on how to improve this miserable situation is appreciated.
