Description AsciiWolf 2020-01-19 13:26:33 UTC

Description of problem:

There is not any appdata.xml/metainfo.xml file available in the PuTTY package. Because of this, PuTTY cannot be found and/or installed using the GNOME Software application or another package manager UI based on AppStream.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open GNOME Software.
2. Type "putty".

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.

Still missing.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2021-08-10 12:47:10 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
Changing version to 35.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2022-11-29 16:47:38 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2023-02-07 14:51:28 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle.

Here is an AppStream metainfo and a desktop icon from Flathub that could be used.
