I think GNOME Software doesn't, and Plasma Discover only displays them as regular install-items. A feature like that would be really nice to have though, it's maybe worth filing a feature request. >> But beignet-opencli-icd's appstream metadata is invalid [copyleft not >> allowed]. > > This was done because parts of the metadata are automatically extracted from > the (LGPL) code; it's only a warning in 'appstreamcli validate', and the > people I discussed it with at the time thought it would be OK. It's a warning because the data isn't completely useless (in case you don't want to aggregate it, for example), but in general a warning means a failed validation - to be safe, the data needs to be warning and error free (exit-code of appstreamcli validate needs to be zero). Debian's appstream-generator didn't reject metadata with non-permissive licenses until August 2016 though. > Upstream have since granted permission for the metadata to be MIT, but too > late for the freeze. Nice :-) The license restraints are annoying, but it might keep us from trouble when mixing data with multiple different licenses in one file. >> Also, do you have a link for more information about what >> beignet-opencl-icd does? > > The homepage field of the metadata is set, to > https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Beignet/ > > -- Debian Developer | Freedesktop-Developer I welcome VSRE emails.
