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 Additional info:
every app that should be shown needs appstream data for gnome software. See a blogpost for rpmfusion and fedora: http://ankursinha.in/blog/2015/05/28/appstream-data-for-rpmfusion-now-available.html
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. Richard [1] https://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/

As it's an expected behavior, I think we are good to close this bug.
