AppData additions required for the software center
Hi again! First, apologies for the direct email. I'm emailing you directly as you've been listed as the update contact in one or more AppData files. We've been busy building an awesome software center, and we've been adding more and more metadata fields that upstream authors can set. The software center is now being used in Fedora, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian and Arch, with many millions of happy users. Some of the newest features include a way to make it easy for translators to contribute new translations of your applications by specifying a URL in the libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml libreoffice-base.appdata.xml libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml libreoffice-calc.appdata.xml AppData file that tells them where to start looking. This can be specified by adding: http://the-web-site-with-translation-instructions/ Another useful tag to add is to tell end-users where to donate, for instance: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ If it's been some time since you updated the AppData file (and hey, you've got an app to write!) you can get add the latest metadata fields by doing `appstream-util upgrade libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml libreoffice-base.appdata.xml libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml libreoffice-calc.appdata.xml` and then replacing any FIXMEs in the file with actual data. We'll be putting more functionality into the software center in the future that uses this extra data, but we need more upstream software to opt-in before we can enable features, for instance, providing a button for users to donate to specific apps. You can also use `appstream-util validate-relax` on your AppData file to check the various fields meet our style guidelines. If you disagree with any of the validation warnings, please let me know! Of course, you don't have to do a release with these enhancements straight away, and if you have a stable branch it would be a good thing to backport this as well if it does not add translated strings or you have no string freeze policy. When you've changed the file(s) and committed, please email me back and I'll mark your application as completed. If you don't want to hear from me ever again just edit the in the AppData file and change it to somebody else. I'm not planning on emailing more than once every 6 months, so don't worry about me spamming you with even more work to do.

Additions required to the AppData file
Hi! First, apologies for the direct email. I'm emailing you directly as you've been listed as the update contact in one or more AppData files. In future versions of the appstream-builder (the program used by distributions to merge all the AppData files in packages into AppStream metadata) we're going to be running a lot less crazy plugins. At the moment we're doing things like parsing .gir files, running nm on binaries and looking up things from arrays of hardcoded data just so we can try and work out what kudos the application deserves. This doesn't scale, and means the machine generating the metadata needs to have all kinds of extra build tools installed. So, what do I want you to do? Basically, I would like you to: Add the following data into libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml HiDpiIcon ModernToolkit Add the following data into libreoffice-base.appdata.xml HiDpiIcon ModernToolkit Add the following data into libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml HiDpiIcon ModernToolkit Add the following data into libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml HiDpiIcon ModernToolkit Of course, you don't have to do a release with this fix straight away, and if you have a stable branch it would be a good thing to backport this as well. Nothing bad will happen if we run the automated tools with the kudos already set in the AppData file. If you think any of the other kudos might apply[1], please email me back and we can discuss any new additions. When you've changed the file and committed, please email me back and I'll mark your application as completed. If you don't want to hear from me ever again just edit the in the AppData file and change it to somebody else. I'm not planning on emailing any of you again this year, so don't worry about me spamming you with even more work to do. If you don't add the manual then your application will still be visible in the various software centers, but it may loose some of the stars it got auto-assigned.

OpenOffice and AppData files
Hi all. I'm the developer for PackageKit and gnome-software. The community has already written a set of LibreOffice AppData files for Fedora, would you be interested to including them upstream? This will allow us to feature LibreOffice on the front page in the future. See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for more details about AppStream and AppData. So far hundred of upstream projects have included AppData files in their tarballs. The files are here: https://raw.github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml https://raw.github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/libreoffice-base.appdata.xml https://raw.github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/libreoffice-calc.appdata.xml https://raw.github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml https://raw.github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml But I'm sure these need checking and perhaps needs some more filling in. If you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks! Richard. ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
