New SPEC: http://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/for-review/createrepo_as.spec New SRPM: http://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/for-review/createrepo_as-0.1.0-2.gita71cb63.fc21.src.rpm New SRPM: http://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/for-review/createrepo_as-0.1.0-3.git54aaec2.fc21.src.rpm not that we can't have a standalone package to make AppStream metadata, for use in Fedora's tooling it must be integrated into createrepo (In reply to Dennis Gilmore from comment #3) > not that we can't have a standalone package to make AppStream metadata, for > use in Fedora's tooling it must be integrated into createrepo because now it's under actively developing I think we can add this package now and when it will be stable merge into createrepo (but I'm not sure. Richard is a developer. not mine). (In reply to Dennis Gilmore from comment #3) > not that we can't have a standalone package to make AppStream metadata, for > use in Fedora's tooling it must be integrated into createrepo Igor is right; we're still making additions to the spec and finding edge cases we have to handle. At the moment the complexity and requirement that we call the same code from createrepo and createrepo_c I'm thinking to either make this a GIR introspectable library we can call from python and C, or just a single binary we can call from either tool. We're a few months off doing this tho (although we're getting closer to AppStream 1.0 every day) and having a seporate package would make it much easier for the people running other repos for Fedora and RHEL. Thanks, Richard This morning I've merged the small tool we need for generation into the appstream-glib package. This makes it easier to track AppStream API changes rather than in two projects and for two release schedules. |
