Description amit yadav 2016-03-24 09:59:15 UTC

Description of problem:

Gnome-software not showing packages available from custom repositories created on satellite. If I search for package which is available from a custom package repository using yum, I am able to find that package. But if I try to search for same package using gnome-software, I can't find it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.14.7-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As described above

Actual results:
Package is available using yum, but not using gnome-software

Expected results:
If a package is available using yum, it should also be available using gnome-software

every app that should be shown needs appstream data for gnome software. See a blogpost for rpmfusion and fedora:

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2016-03-31 15:33:24 UTC

Further to that, the upstream application (or in the srpm) needs to ship an AppData file[1] which the appstream-builder tool can process into AppStream metadata. Without the extra data there's no way for the software center to know that a package is an application, and no way to show extra details like a translated long description and screenshot. I'm happy to help if you have questions.

Thanks for the response. I got this. 
As it's an expected behavior, I think we are good to close this bug.
