I have no idea what to do. AppData should be provided by individual packages build inside Copr - so that is task for individual maintainers. If Gnome-software would like to show software from copr, it would have to get AppData from its packages (likely possible via current API). And if user wants to install it, then enable Copr repo, which contains that application. (BTW how you can add repo in gnome-software?). And this is task for Gnome-Software. To sum it up - I do not see what Copr itself can do for gnome-software. Can you be more specific, please? I am not sure that there is anything we need to do. I read the setup for gnome-software as needing to provide additional information than would normally be specified, perhaps I misunderstood. Suffice to say, I think it is important that COPR track whats happening in the various desktop platform "software stores" and support inclusion of COPR repos if possible. Okay, a little confusion here. AppData is what upstream software provides and gives us things like screenshot URLs and long descriptions of each application. AppStream is what is produced after processing all the packages in the distro (some of which have desktop files, some of which have desktop+appdata files) and is a per-repo "blob" to be shipped in the repo just like primary.xml.gz or comps.xml. What COPR could do is run createrepo_as on the packages in the copr, and then just use modifyrepo to include the file in the repomd.xml file. That's the long term goal of what's going to happen in Fedora. If this is something COPR wants to do, please give me a shout and I can set up a call explaining what you need to do. Notes for myself: This is what hughsie use now: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-scripts/blob/master/fedora/fedora-22.sh This is documentation how to use libappstream-glib: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib#getting-started-1 Copr version with appdata/appstream support was deployed into production. Richard please confirm that everything works, and it's correct close issue. This fix is deployed in production on copr.fedoraproject.org |
