https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1823599 --- Comment #7 from Bob Hepple <bob.hepple@xxxxxxxxx> --- Created attachment 1679808 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1679808&action=edit gjots2.metainfo.xml Thanks for the review, Alexander. I've had a bit of a look at the appdata issue and it seems that most (if not all) applications (in f-31, at least) are still using appdata, not metainfo. Those which use metainfo seem to be fonts or other sorts of data. To compound my confusion, there are many applications (eg eog!) that have an appdata file in /usr/share/metainfo! There are also metainfo files in /usr/share/appdata - again they seem to be for fonts and other data files rather than programs!! So should it be appdata for programs and metainfo for fonts/data? Already my head is spinning! So I've done my best and converted it to metainfo per the spec at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html and following the examples on my f-31 system but it just won't pass validation although 'xmlstarlet val' is happy with it: $ appstream-util validate-relax --nonet gjots2.metadata.xml gjots2.metadata.xml: No valid root node specified Any idea what might be wrong? If I can't fix this, I suggest we revert to the old appdata format - I'll be in good company like google-chrome, abiword and others ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
