Now it's a case of cloning and building https://github.com/hughsie/createrepo_as and then doing ./createrepo_as --basename=test path/to/package.rpm and then copying the ./test.xml.gz file to /usr/share/app-info/xmls/ and then explode test-icons.tar.gz into /usr/share/app-info/icons/test/ -- If you file a ticket here https://github.com/hughsie/createrepo_as/issues then I'll add a script that makes it easy to install the data and write a FAQ entry. > I tried this once, and it seemed to be a rather convoluted process. > Wondering if I did it wrong?

A FAQ related to this that's not on the upstream page: "How do I locally check changes to my appdata inside gnome-software, as opposed to just appdata-validate?" I tried this once, and it seemed to be a rather convoluted process. Wondering if I did it wrong?

Its a bug in rpm makefiles. Will fix...

appdata handling
A new version of a package I maintain added an appdata.xml. As I haven't handled such files before, I looked up the internet for some information. The only helpful hint I found, was a commit adding appdata support to the qt-creator package in fedora git. [1] As more packages will add appdata file upstream, packagers will need information how to handle this within fedora. I suggest to these information to the Packaging Guidelines. What I'm interested in is: - Directory, Name, ownership and permissions for appdata.xml files - %post/%postun scriptlets (if needed) - If appdata-validate must be run during package build - How long does it take that the new appdata is propagated to gnome-software As a side note: build.log contains the following error: error: Couldn't exec /usr/lib/rpm/appdata.prov: No such file or directory [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qt-creator.git/commit/?h=epel7&id=812bac7be961483c992a3337fc8a35c524c73079 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
