Thanks @neonmoe, I seem to have missed that. Don't know how upstream manages to use this package at all. I'll see what I can do, but it might have to be a manual step, unless the directories are created for every directory in /home (which I think wouldn't be a good thing to do).

After recently upgrading, the application would bring up a dialog asking for the password of the certificate database, even though I hadn't (knowingly) set one. Deleting ~/.digisign and ~/.pki/nssdb (as per the application's user manual) fixed the issue.

The references to $HOME in the install script seem odd to me, aren't they ran as root? That would explain why I had to do the same thing manually as my regular user.

There were some changes in the installation procedure upstream, so I have added install scripts to this package. The scripts included previously in the upstream version but not this package are now also included here. Please let me know if there are problems.

Edit: I although removed some weird parts of the scripts, so not entirely the same as upstream.

Version 4.2.4-8303 exists only for the Windows package. The latest downloadable Linux versions at https://dvv.fi/en/linux-versions show 4.2.4-8296, which is what this PKGBUILD uses.

Yep, that's how it should be. Corrected now.

This package overwrites /etc/xdg/autostart/mpollux-digisign-client.desktop - which it should not do, since that is a configuration file. Well, it's a small annoyance, but the ?#@%X! autostart will be there after every upgrade (despite changing the file).

EDIT: I suggest adding:

backup=('etc/xdg/autostart/mpollux-digisign-client.desktop')

to the PKGBUILD. That way the configuration file will be handled correctly.

The download URL should work now, the GUID-looking string at the end seems to be the same every time. Also it worked for me without the parameter t. In this form it's only one more thing to manually copy-paste, I hope they don't start creating unique ids for every download.

Wild_Penguin commented on 2021-06-02 09:17 (UTC)

The download URL doesn't seem to work anymore. Seems like dvv.fi requires the part after .deb/ (i.e. XXXXXXX-XXX... ?t=XXXX ).

Nice going at dvv.fi, to me this seems like they are trying to make harder to have external direct download links on purpose?

This package is in many ways non-ideal. Overall seems like a lot of band-aid has been used in making a release which will somewhat work (note: I mean at dvv, not by the packager. Thanks for the packager!).

I've solved the autostart problem by re-creating an empty file in place of mpollux-digisign-client.desktop. If one just deletes it, it will be re-created at every upgrade of this package. But as these are configuration files, an empty file will not be overwritten by an upgrade.

Hi Iizuki, the .desktop file is /etc/xdg/autostart/mpollux-digisign-client.desktop. Removing it prevents starting at boot. Yes, it's not really an ideal way for a program to behave, forcing start at boot system-wide.
