So I did, upstream accepted it, but then it applied old location again. As it 
is noted in patch description for compatibility reasons. Now application 
installs on both locations.

Should I remove now this files from the old location or they can stay?

It's not a huge deal, appstream searches both locations. Metainfo is best,
but a low priority fix IMHO. Richard

Upstream installs AppData file in /usr/share/appdata

[Samuel Rakitničan]

Hi,

I have a package where upstream installs AppData file in /usr/share/appdata, 
but the Fedora Packaging Guidelines says it should be installed to 
/usr/share/metainfo. I am wondering how to approach this; should I submit a PR 
upstream, should I change it locally or should I leave it unchanged. Are there 
any compatibility reasons to keep /usr/share/appdata upstream?
