A clarification: libdigidoc is mostly needed to enable working with the legacy digitally-signed container format developed in Estonia, while libdigidocpp (not packaged yet) enables support for the Estonian flavour of the interoperable format. Earlier this year I realised libdigidocpp is the only non-Java non-C# library for the format while also not being a monstrous suite of unrelated software, so I thought I probably should package at least those parts of the Estonian eID suite to enable working with eIDAS-compliant files — but libdigidoc is still needed for it, and its similar to the Slovak legacy "ZEP" digitally-signed container format so that I might be able to extend it to work with those files too. When I find time to get back to those things, the package will be maintained under the eIDAS team (currently it’s just myself), but until that happened, it’s only halfway there since nothing currently depends on it yet. -- Cheers, Andrej
