So, should we contact upstream about the appdata file requirement and if that doesn't work out make our own and send it to the package maintainer? Where should the screenshots go?
I also agree with the proposal (even though this is the first time I read about a software center), but your list contains a few scientific packages that haven't been updated upstream in years, though they remain relevant, as they provide pretty much the only way to accomplish certain tasks in linux, or which are still better than the alternatives. Fedora never had the most exhaustive collection of scientific packages, but hiding them altogether from their intended audience, particularly people unaccustomed to the console, would drive a number of potential users away. I think that the upstream bug filing requirement for such inactive projects is just a waste of time and should be forgone.-- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
