Package: tracker.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi! When processing AppStream upstream metadata to create the distro-metadata DEP-11 YAML file[1], we generate an issues-list which might be useful for inclusion on the PTS. We generate a HTML overview of the issues, for example for unstable-main: https://appstream.debian.org/html/unstable/main/issues/index.html
We also export the hint information for the suites and architectures we generate data for as YAML metadata, which is machine-readable: https://appstream.debian.org/hints/ Information about AppStream on Debian and common issues found when packaging metadata (and how to deal with them) can be found at this Wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream I am currently still extending the page, when it is ready I will make a public announcement that AppStream support has landed in Debian, and how to work with this new feature. Adding this issue information (alongside lintian warnings?) to the PTS would be of great help! Kind regards, Matthias Klumpp [1]: The thing which is then used by tools like GNOME-Software and KDE Discover to display a nice application-centric view on the Debian archive. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-19-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
