I've just been hooking up PackageKit with gnome-software for Ubuntu.

It seems to basically work for us, but once we're sent into g-s from an app, the interface is a bit skeletal.

  - No icons
  - License 'proprietary'
  - No description in individual codec pages
  - No size

Do you know if this is due to the aptcc backend in PackageKit, or is it the way the GsApps are being created in g-s's PK plugin(s)?

Two screenshots attached so you see what I'm talking about.

I think we include a metainfo file in out gstreamer plugins in Fedora so that we get the AppStream data to show. I can dig up links if required, and ideally those files should be pushed upstream, although I think there was some resistance as it depends on how the distro slices up the packages.

Here's some of the Fedora appstream metadata:

We made metainfo for gst components in Ubuntu now too. It's not the best, but it's good enough and not a gnome-software bug at this point.
