Quite a few people have asked me how the AppStream distro metadata is actually generated for thier app. The actual extraction process isn’t trivial, and on Fedora we also do 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. If you’ve got a few minutes I’d appreciate you finding your application there and checking for any warnings or errors. The directory names are actually Fedora package names, but usually it’s either 1:1 or fairly predictable.
If you’ve got a application that’s being blacklisted when it shouldn’t be, or a GUI application that’s in Fedora but not in that list then please send me email or grab me on IRC. The rules for inclusion are here. Thanks.
