Hello all,
Sometime ago, the default location of AppStream metadata for addons
(*.metainfo.xml files) changed from %{_datadir}/appdata/ to
%{_datadir}/metainfo/[0].
As far as I can tell that change went mostly unnoticed, given that
most of our packages still install addon metadata in
%{_datadir}/appdata/. I visited the relevant wiki page[1] which still
lists the old location, but I could not edit it, because it says I
should be a member of the "Packaging" group (btw, who belongs to that
group and how does one become a member?).
Could someone with edit rights change the page to reflect the current
state of things?
Since we have people working upstream on AppStream (ha ha), was this
(or any other similar change to the spec) announced someplace?
As far as I'm aware, our Appstream maintainer(s) are committed to supporting
both locations (as a matter of fact, told me to continue using
/usr/share/appdata)
