[users] Belgian eID middleware

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

I was looking for an update of the Belgian eID middleware, when I stumbled
upon Fabian Arrotin's blog from 2008:
"Newer Belgian eID middleware version ! ?"
(http://www.arrfab.net/blog/?p=97)

According to that blog a newer version hasn't been packaged because the source
is no longer available to packagers. That was perhaps true in 2008, but it
seems that presently the source can be downloaded from
http://code.google.com/p/eid-mw/

There are even patches available at the same location to allow the build to
work in fedora.

I would love to see this package updated. Perhaps one of the rpmforge
contributors can have a look and see if it is viable to update the current
beid package.

Hi Geert,

I discussed with the Debian packager (Wouter Verhelst) and another guy
responsible for the code you can see hosted at code.google.com.
Unfortunately, it was a nightmare to compile, even in the first version
and that newer version needed higher QT lib (and other libraries, but
don't remember exactly now which ones) not available on/for EL5 .. :/
I can have a new look if i find free time, or you can and submit
patches/updated specs here too ;-)

Right, whether we try to tackle this one using a staticly compiled QT, or
we wait until RHEL6 is out, is up to those people who want to spend the
time doing it.

Personally I would love to have it, but lack the time to investigate or
create the package. But don't let that hold you back, we need more people
diving into it and cracking the tough problems too :-)

And if you need help or guidance, that's what the packagers list is for.
