GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 712150
Add appdata-tools to core-deps-3.12 moduleset
Last modified: 2013-11-12 14:21:35 UTC
Now that appdata-tools has an M4 macro for handling validation and installation of AppData files: https://github.com/hughsie/appdata-tools/commit/7432eaf5b64e7751cfa403359d00a507f53a480b it would be great to be able to depend on it in GNOME projects. I have a branch ready to go for gnome-logs: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-logs/commit/?h=wip/appdata I am not sure if core-deps is the right place, maybe sysdeps is a better fit, which would match with desktop-file-utils.

core-deps is nice for now, sysdeps is for things that are commonly available in distributions. Under the old "external deps" rule, it would be best if it was served as a tarball. Alternatively could you mention the tarball location, so the next person handling a gnome release (that do require tarballs) won't have to hunt them?
Created attachment 259664 [details] [review] use tarball release Thanks for the comments, and the explanation about sysdeps. I updated the patch to use the latest tarball, which has the AppData M4 macro.
