This is interesting. Can you point me to more information about
AppStream and COPR?
I have a COPR with some AppStream metainfo files in it, and I noticed
that suddenly I had this file:
/var/cache/app-info/xmls/mvo-cockpit-app-freeipa.xml.gz
I have since deleted it and it doesn't seem to come back. If memory
serves, I think it was referenced from repodata/repomd.xml back then,
but not anymore.
Anyway, now there is appdata/appstream.xml.gz in the repo:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/mvo/cockpit-app-freeipa/fedora-26-x86_64/appdata/
Is dnf supposed to download this automatically? Some other program?
Should the consumer (such as GNOME Software and Cockpit) download it
explicitly?
Also, addons don't work in COPRs: https://pagure.io/copr/copr/issue/128
Also also, what will you do with icons? Do they all have to be
type="remote"? Will you automatically convert type="local" icons to
type="remote" icons?
Thanks!
