Here's the notes I have for the BoF session today Harald to make a chunky server for Matthias and an S3 bucket for it to make ubuntu database of appstream with dep11-generator
Package the output of dep11-generator PackageKit needs updated in ubuntu Muon backends: ApplicationBackend currrently uses app-install-data, PackageKit backend uses appstream QApt reviews need processing and packed into release before plasma 5.4 Changes for muon are needed, this may need a release out of sync with Plasma. Needs to get data from appstream for ApplicationsBackend There are alas 2 appstream libraries, ximion's on freedesktop and appstream-glib which is glib only but has tools like appstream-util which also does the same stuff as libappstream but different name appstream xml files go upstream and if they're missing they won't show up in the package manager Check the gen11-generator output for hints_unstable for programmes with missing appstream sml files and go and add appstream .xml files where it's missing gen11-generator hints_unstable should get a filter for false positives https://appstream.debian.org/hints_html/unstable/main/ Do we have a CI check for appstream files missing? Lots of files in github.com/ximion/kde-appstream to be pushed upstream, id should be changed to match .desktop file Licence is CC0-1.0 instead of GPL to stop a conflict and allow wording and screenshots to be reused anywhere, work out how this works with pointing to licence files and debian/copyright files Translations are magically done by KDE translation scripts MUON: Muon Package Manager (synaptic style installer) to be removed to it's own repository because it's unmaintained, a new maintainer would be good to have because there are still users Breeze icons to come in 5.4, apol to talk to andreas_k Muon Discover may be renamed to Discover, or Plasma Discover, to be discussed on plasma list Discover and System Settings may be added to Computer tab in Kickoff (not favourites) Muon Updater needs to disappear and functionality to be moved into Discover. Discover has a tab for updates that works but it looks quirky and apol would like to improve it. Progress bar for currently installing app needs changed, 1 pixel horizonal bar is difficult to see VDG did mockups for muon but not much progress so far Reviews and ratings are a bit broken, for Kubuntu it uses the Ubuntu API, can this be integrated into AppStream? _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
