On 1): The metainfo/appdata file is only enough if it is complete, so,
contains an icon reference and name/summary/etc. tags. If it doesn't,
then you'll need the .desktop file as well and a launchable entry.
On 2): All of these locations are wrong ^^ Metainfo files *must* be installed
into /usr/s
@ximion
thank you for your comments. I understand the symlink issue. I'm now
digging in the github/guake issues, and it looks like the solutionw as
to include the appdata file. Now I have the following questions:
1. Is the apppdata enought? OR both the appdata AND symlink issues need to be

@stuardo:
The reason for Guake being missing is that the `guake.desktop` file in
`/usr/share/applications` is a symbolic link *and* the application doesn't ship

I never liked Ubuntu trying/forcing snaps, but for 19.04 I gave up and
tried to embrace it. It is very hard to know when to use gnome-software,

find every app via apt/aptitude, but now, this is very frustrating.

You can expect to find an app in GNOME Software if it is a GUI
application (== has a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ that
isn't NoDisplay and of Type=Application). For anything else (that likely
includes phpMyAdmin) GNOME Software isn't the right tool and wasn't

And gnome/gnome-software ended closing that issue because they don't
think it is in gnome-software's scope.
As a user, I will/should not use nor recommend gnome-software as a
