Yes, the appdata file basename needs to match the basename of the appdata file and the <id> inside it needs to match the application id (the desktop filename). It also does need to be installed into ${datadir}/appdata. Thanks!

Richard should confirm or clarify, but I think he is asking for the file to be installed into ${datadir}/appdata and to have the same name as the .desktop file we install into ${datadir}/applications.

So if we install ${datadir}/applications/www.octave.org-octave.desktop, we should install ${datadir}/appdata/www.octave.org-octave.appdata.xml also.

This has already been reported as bug #40356, see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40356

It has also been fixed with cset 32344942ee6e, see http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/32344942ee6e

Or is this bug report about making specific changes to that file?

Please consider installing this AppData file we wrote: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/desktop/octave.appdata.xml

This is used in GNOME and KDE software installers to add the application description and some screenshots. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. The AppData file needs to be installed to /usr/share/appdata/ on Linux and the basename needs to match the .desktop basename. It would also be great if you could integrate the file with your translation system (e.g. intltool) to make the descriptions translated.

See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for more details; thanks!

Richard
