I didn't see a public facing bug/issue tracker, so I'm assuming everything should be entered here.  If there is a better/preferred reporting method, sorry for not spotting it; please let me know. :)

  • enpass debian 5.4.1 still has '.DS_Store' files from 2015 (which shouldn't be packaged at all)
  • ls -lh $(dpkg-query -L enpass |egrep 'DS_Store')

  • There are no man pages, (eg under /opt/Enpass/share/man )
  • Bad packaging (doesn't use dependencies, or static builds, instead includes every single library dependency, and uses a launch script
  • Corrective action option 1. Properly call out dependencies via the deb "Depends" field, 2. compile the binary with static libs (ugly and less portable). 3. Change to a language with happy/consistent binary blobs, without external library dependencies (eg golang)
  • ## From /opt/Enpass/bin/runenpass.sh:
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$enpassRoot/lib:$enpassRoot/plugins/sqldrivers"
    export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$enpassRoot/plugins
    export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=$enpassRoot/plugins/platforms
    export HIDE_TOOLBAR_LINE=0
    

Towards a list of locally provided libs vs a double install of them (which is much worse for security patching etc...)

libgcc_s.so.1 can be provided by libgcc1:amd64 OR libgcc-6-dev:amd64  but otherwise, here is a requires entry....

The rest of the package Depends fields; Could be shortened since many of the deps would pull in things like libc6....

for LIB in $(ldd /opt/Enpass/bin/Enpass | awk '{print $3}'); do
dpkg-query -S $(basename $LIB) |sed 's/: / /g' | awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v 'enpass|i386|libgcc'

Hi @Ryan-linux,

Thanks a ton for reporting the issues with Enpass DEB packaging. The extra files and typos are certainly the mistakes by packager and shouldn't be there. We will get them corrected in next version.

For proper working, Enpass needs latest features and bugfixes in Qt which are always not available in older versions as different Debian based distros provides different versions of Qt. This will add up more time in testing without any significant improvement in quality. And this could flood our inbox with complaints of Qt incompatibility. 
The current solution, where we provide those Qt libs against which Enpass is compiled and hence a launch script, has been working fine without any incompatibility for many different version of various distros. 

I wish we had all the time and resources to keep the things align perfectly with DEB packaging guidelines. 


We appreciate all your love and support for us to keep improving Enpass with every update.

Cheers!
