Middleware for Electronic Identification in Portugal (with precompiled binaries by AMA)
This package provides the official Portuguese Citizen Card middleware (Autenticação.gov), extracted from AMA’s Flatpak release. It enables authentication and digital signing using the Portuguese eID system.
On NixOS, it works with a supported card reader and Citizen Card, as long as services.pcscd.enable = true is set in the system configuration.
Notes:
Depends on xerces-c 3.2.3, which is no longer in nixpkgs. This package includes a version override to restore it for compatibility.
The application uses hardcoded paths for libraries and binaries. To accommodate this,
prootis used at runtime to simulate a traditional filesystem layout. This allows the binary to run unmodified, though it may introduce minor latency.A desktop entry is included for integration with graphical environments.
Building from source is possible, but upstream disables signing in source builds. Using the official binary avoids this limitation and provides full functionality.
