Unless those plugins actually depend on each other (and aren't just packaged that way), it doesn't make sense. (And the UI is really bad. Just try it in a few hours. You may need to make sure the background gnome-software service is killed first so that the latest metadata is used.) > So it seems like the specification explicitly allows for extension > packages like hexchat-plugins to carry more than one metainfo file in > it. I was the one that wrote that part of the specification so I apologize if I was unclear. It is ok for the hexchat package to also contains plugins with their AppStream metadata (but there won't be checkboxes for any of those plugins so I don't recommend this here). It is not ok for a separate hexchat-plugins package to include multiple plugins because it won't work properly in GNOME Software. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
