Publish Ubuntu 20.04 (fossa) PPA
There's no published version for Ubuntu 20.04 (fossa). There's a fossa version of yubikey-manager released. The eoan version appears to work fine on my machine
I followed the official installation instructions and was puzzled to not find any accessible GUI after installing yubikey-manager not finding any yubikey-manager-qt .
As a workaround I could use the AppImage. But this lacks start menu integration.
Can we expect PPA availability in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS soon ~~or should I go writing a desktop link~~? I'd assume it's just a minor packaging missing? As workaround I manually installed http://ppa.launchpad.net/yubico/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/y/yubikey-manager-qt/yubikey-manager-qt_1.1.3~ppa1~eoan1_amd64.deb
Hi,
The AppImage (found here) is currently the supported distribution format for Linux for this application since version 1.1.4.
The main motivation for us to move away from the PPA is that it allows us decide what version of Qt we want to depend on, and not be held back depending on what is available in the oldest Ubuntu LTS we want to support. For non-GUI projects this is not as much of an issue.

Please update your documentation: https://support.yubico.com/support/solutions/articles/15000010964-enabling-the-yubico-ppa-on-ubuntu
This documentation is also wrong: https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager-qt/ .
Workaround, for people like me who do not like non OS native packages:
Clone https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager-qt, install the depends and build-depends in debian/control and run fakeroot debian/rules binary to get the package.
