/usr/share/metainfo - modern directory for the metainfo files.
/usr/share/appdata - legacy, for compatibility purposes.
New/updated packages should always use /usr/share/metainfo aka
%{_metainfodir}. If not, you should fix and send a pull request to upstream.

compatibility as well. It should not be used anymore by new software
though, even on older Linux distributions (like RHEL 7 and Ubuntu 16.04
LTS) the metainfo path is well supported. Support for the legacy path
will likely be dropped completely with a future AppStream 1.0 release.
