Description Federico Bruni 2020-05-23 21:34:03 UTC
appstream-data package descriptions says:

"""
Description  : This package provides the distribution specific AppStream metadata required
             : for the GNOME and KDE software centers. The appstream data is built weekly with
             : /usr/bin/appstream-builder, combining the data from RPM packages in official
             : repositories and the extra data in fedora-appstream.
"""

Then I would expect that the package is updated more or less weekly on Fedora stable (I'm running version 32).
But the last update was in April, 5 weeks ago.
Changelog in the spec shows that it's updated every 2 months and something:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/appstream-data/blob/master/f/appstream-data.spec#_48

Perhaps the description should be changed to reflect the real frequency of update?

Comment 1 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:27:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

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

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Daniel Rusek 2022-05-31 12:04:10 UTC
As far as I know, the appstream-data is built manually. For example, the last appstream-data for F36 was built in March 2022, see bz#2091665.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2022-08-09 13:10:58 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

Comment 6 Aoife Moloney 2023-12-05 20:59:26 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on None.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
