You can prefer local files over the distro-supplied data using:

killall gnome-software
gnome-software --prefer-local

Thanks, that will at least let me test the change and make sure it works before I tell upstream.


If you want to override the screenshot, you can either patch the
.appdata.xml in the spec file like any normal file, or you can use the
F22+ command in the spec file:

appstream-util replace-screenshots /path/to/appdata.xml
http://new-screenshot.png

Well I'm still on F21 until RPM Fusion properly branches but thanks for the info. In this case the appdata file isn't actually in the source archive but is provided along side it in their github mirror so I use have it as a source file.

Thanks,
Richard
