It's recommendable to have it, as this application is shown in GNOME software.

If you can provide the texto for the description, I can send you a patch.

Thanks!

Found this example in Hughsie's github (URL in wiki was wrong):

https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/blob/master/appdata-extra/desktop/gnome-termainal.appdata.xml

It's ok to use it, adding email in the <updatecontact> field?

Would be great to get this in for 3.12

Christian, it's ok to include you in the updatecontact field? If so, I can commit this change before string freeze

I would suggest to just go without the updatecontact

Add appdata file

Here is the patch to add the AppData file.

Please review it and, if it's ok, I'll ask for a freeze break to commit it.

Thanks!

I added a skeleton appdata file in git now.

+A staple for power users, the terminal helps you get in touch with your hacker roots,
+and makes it easy to get under the hood and modify your system.

No way I'm adding this :-)

BTW: I had wanted to use ITS to translate the appdata file, but ITS isn't integrated yet with the gnome l10n workflow, so I fell back to using intltool now for.

So, can I modify this skeleton with the text suggested by Hugsie? (I'd prefer tou use yours, but maybe is not a good idea xDD )

Thanks!

It's only a skeleton, intended to be changed again, so yes, do post a patch for the <description>. However the text used in the URL in comment 2 is inacceptable. The text needs to be absolutely factual, not read like an ad.

s/to made your life easier//. With that change, ok to commit after string freeze approval.
