Every software center that exists allows the user to look at
|
||
|
|
screenshots and a long description of the application before it is
|
||
|
|
installed. For most users it allows them to answer the question Do
|
||
|
|
I want to install this application?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Traditionally in Linux distributions, we have none of this data
|
||
|
|
for the vast majority of our desktop user-installable applications.
|
||
|
|
To solve this, we have defined a new data file, which the upstream
|
||
|
|
project can optionally translate using the same technique as GSetting
|
||
|
|
schemas or Desktop files. Rather than create a new schema from
|
||
|
|
scratch, we'll be using a subset of the AppStream metadata proposal.
