It's fine if you don't consider them 'GNOME applications', but I'd suggest to consider them 'Console applications'. And, if you are really interested in only GNOME applications, I'd suggest removing all non-GNOME applications from GNOME Software too. IMHO, it's just funny that something like gedit and Windows notepad can be considered 'applications' but GCC can't!On Tue, 2014-12-23 at 17:12 +0100, Dridi Boukelmoune wrote:Are CLI tools welcome in Gnome Software?No, we don't consider CLI tools to be "applications," and only applications should be displayed in GNOME Software. See also: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/application-basics.html.en I don't mind if GNOME doesn't consider console applications as applications; but I really think that Fedora should not go that route. Certainly, the concept of 'console applications' is a widely recognized concept; and I find associating 'applications' with .desktop files, icons and windows just ridiculous and confusing. Personally, I won't suggest anybody trying GNOME Software as a serious software management application for Fedora, as it is simply misleading. I'd suggest it as a good looking software which needs a resolution wider than 1024 (I really don't see why it needs to be that wide! It doesn't fit my 1024x768 screen which is really annoying) and can present a few GUI applications you can find in Fedora repositories. It's certainly not a 'software management' tool, and also not a 'Fedora application management' tool. I would tell them to use a proper software management tool, and consider GNOME Software mostly as a toy or a tool to find out about some software that they might not notice normally. It's actually a 'Do you know that Fedora has Foo software?' tool. Regards, Hedayat |
