GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 746907
We really need an AppData file

Created attachment 300485 [details] what i see Fedora 22, search for "settings", see the attached. This is really bad, as we can also *remove* the application removing 90% of GNOME in the process. The long description is the package description and the generic name "Settings" isn't useful in the update panel either. IMHO the only way to do this properly is for g-c-c to ship an AppData file which can be used for the long description for the updates panel, and much more importantly be able to set the "core-for-gnome" flag. We can't obviously fix the description for 3.16.1, but we can fix the fact that it's supposedly removable. If this is okay, I can work on some patches. If there's some other .desktop key I can use for "show in GNOME shell, but not in the software center" I'm all ears. Thanks.
Isn't removability controlled by the modulesets? Why does appdata matter?
Ohh, I forgot about that, yes we can do it there too. I still thing my request makes sense given the screenshot.
Why is gnome-control-center even visible in Software? It's "builtin" like gnome-settings-daemon or gnome-shell. It shouldn't be visible in Software at all. It's no use outside of GNOME, and it's an integrable part of GNOME. We'll do the minimum to get it not to show in Software.
