Description Vít Ondruch 2023-06-07 08:41:10 UTC

Gnome Software used to display addons (e.g. for GVim), but they are not displayed anymore. Not sure if that is issue with some metadata or if the functionality was removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search for 'vim'
2. Display GVim
3. Addons are not listed
Actual Results:  
Addons are not listed

Expected Results:  
Addons are listed

$ rpm -q gnome-software
gnome-software-44.1-1.fc39.x86_64

Thanks for a bug report. Nothing changed with respect of the extensions, they are still supported. I'm not offered with GVim, but I know GIMP has many extensions, thus I tried with it. Picking the RPM version doesn't show any extension. Picking the Flathub version shows many extensions.

Could it be similar with the GVim for you?

Looking at GIMP, it seems that the Fedora Flatpak version is the default and I can't see any plugins listed. I don't have Flathub enabled AFAIK, so I can't try.

Actually, looking closer, the G-S list Gvim just as a Fedora Flatpak. This is also interesting.

The repo/remote should provide the extensions, and claim about them in the appstream data.

For example when you search for "Evolution", the RPM version does list several extensions. The Flatpak version does not, because there are not built any extensions for it yet.

From my point of view, this is not a gnome-software problem. There should be checked whether any extensions are packaged for GVim in Fedora and if so, then whether also for the Fedora Flatpak and whether the extensions provide the appstream data and whether this appstream data gets into the repo's/remote's appstream data list (for Fedora RPM it's appstream-data package; for Fedora Flatpak it's part of the Flatpak remote, I guess).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
