Quite a few people have asked me how the AppStream distro metadata is
actually generated for their package. Since F20 we're also doing
things like supply missing AppData files for some key apps, and
replacing some upstream screenshots on others. In order to make this
more transparent, I'm going to be uploading the logs of each
generation run to https://github.com/hughsie/createrepo_as_logs -- If
you've got a few minutes I'd appreciate you finding your application
there and checking for any warnings or errors, and perhaps forwarding
any findings to upstream. Although over 10% of applications in rawhide
ship AppData, that means a huge chunk don't and also quite a few
upstreams don't even have things like translated desktop files.
I've got an application with a valid desktop file for which I attempted to write an appdata file. I couldn't find any screenshots online, so I took some of my own and installed them with the application. The log message for this application says:
Failed to load screenshot file://<path>: Downloading failed: Cannot resolve hostname
Am I taking a fundamentally wrong approach, or does something in the appdata stack need to be taught about file:// URLs?
