Description of problem: The Eclipse IDE is not installable through KDE's plasmas-discover and I believe it is because of a problem in appstream. Try searching for "eclipse" in plasma-discover -- you can see some add-ons, but no results for the IDE itself. You can see clearly see the problem is lower down than plasma-discover by using the appstreamcli tool directly: $ rpm -q appstream appstream-0.10.6-1.fc26.x86_64 $ appstreamcli search eclipse | grep desktop Identifier: kdocker.desktop [desktop-application] I expected there to be an entry for "eclipse.desktop" here but there is not, even though the metadata is present and correct in /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora.xml.gz I backported a more recent version of appstream from rawhide and this seems to fix the issue for me: $ sudo dnf copr enable mbooth/appstream $ sudo dnf update appstream $ rpm -q appstream appstream-0.11.2-1.fc26.x86_64 $ appstreamcli search eclipse | grep desktop Identifier: redeclipse.desktop [desktop-application] Identifier: eclipse.desktop [desktop-application] Identifier: bluefish.desktop [desktop-application] Identifier: kdocker.desktop [desktop-application] And this is the result I expect. Notice now that the Eclipse IDE is available to install when you search for "eclipse" in plasma-discover after upgrading appstream. Please consider back-porting this version of appstream to Fedora 26, so that my users can discover and install Eclipse.
Hi Rex, If you are too busy, and with your permission, I'd be happy to use my provenpackager permission bit to do this backport. It seems like Eclipse is not the only app affected by the problem -- it would be good to have plasma-discover working as well as gnome-software.
I can probably do it. Been fighting a bit to get the latest versions of appstream built, but I think I got it sorted out.
