I've taken and adapted the one from the image package. So this bug can probably be closed.

Thanks, both of you, I'll look into this (wasn't aware of this system). But don't be surprised if it takes a while, I'm going into a vacancy tomorrow.

For what is worth, the one in the image package can be used as template http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/image/file/672b4b8dd371/octave-image.metainfo.xml

I'd like to ask you if you could ship a small xml file that contains AppStream metadata. It's a distro-agnostic format for AppStore-like catalogs for Linux distributions: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Quickstart-Addons.html AppStream-based catalogs are currently included in all major Linux distributions: Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch,... If the xml file is copied to %{datadir}/appdata/ (typically /usr/share/appdata) the plugin appears in the profile of the app (Octave) and is easily discoverable and installable for users. I've created the file for you. See the attachment.
