> Please update KeePassX from 0.4 to 2.0

We’ll have it for free in Tails 3.0 based on Debian Stretch, presumably.

Tails ships tons of packages and we don’t try to ship the last version for each one. Any strong reason why we should bother upgrading KeePassX earlier?

Redirecting a discussion that started on Bug #10940:

>> If you’re interested in looking into upgrading Tails 2.x to KeePassX 2.0, please let Feature #10780 know. I can at least sponsor uploads of the backport if needed.
> I am indeed interested in upgrading KeePassX sooner than in Tails 3.0.

Cool!

> The only thing I see that needs to be done for this is Feature #10956.

I hope it’s indeed the only thing. We’ll see :)

> What do you mean with “sponsor uploads of the backport”?

I suspect that sooner or later, the keepassx 2.x package from Debian testing won’t install as-is on Jessie, and we will have to backport it. I am a Debian developer and can thus upload to the official backports repository (http://backports.debian.org/). I won’t maintain the backport myself though, so we would need someone else to do it, and then I’ll merely upload stuff once it’s ready, which is what we call “sponsoring an upload” in Debian jargon.

Let me know if I shall reopen this ticket, then.

> fyi: keepassx 2.0.2-1~bpo8+1 is in jessie-backports now
Woo, that’s great! I think we should use it. It will fix Bug #10940.
Users would have to import their 0.4 databases, but that’s easy: http://keepass.info/help/v2/version.html

And anonym mentioned that in 2.0 it is currently not possible to use the global auto-type shortcut if the database is locked, it would be nice if that would be fixed:

The new version could be tested in the Tails-stretch iso when they work :)

I’ve seen no progress wrt. upgrading in Tails 2.x, so I’ll close this as done in feature/stretch for Tails 3.0. Next step is Feature #10956, which is needed both for Tails 3.0 and in case someone wants to spend extra time on this to upgrade KeePassX in Tails 2.x.
