AppData files
If a package contains a GUI application, then it SHOULD also install a .appdata.xml
file into %{_datadir}/appdata/
. Installed .appdata.xml
files MUST follow the AppData specification page, and they must correctly validate using appdata-validate --relax
.
.appdata.xml file creation
If the package doesn't already include and install its own .appdata.xml
file, you can make your own and sending it upstream. Benefits of sending the file upstream is that upstream can translate the file using the existing translation resources and can also modify the screenshots and descriptions as the application changes over time. You can do this by including a .appdata.xml
file you create as a Source: (e.g. Source3: %{name}.appdata.xml) or generating it in the spec file. Here is the contents of a sample .appdata.xml
file (comical.appdata.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Copyright 2014 Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> --> <application> <id type="desktop">comical.desktop</id> <metadata_license>CC0</metadata_license> <project_license>GPL-2.0+ and GFDL-1.3</project_license> <name>Comical</name> <summary>A Comic Archive Reader</summary> <summary xml:lang="fr">Un Comic Archive Lecteur</fr> <description> <p> Comical is an easy to use and cross-platform CBR and CBZ reader which prefetches and caches pages for speed. </p> <p xml:lang="fr"> Comical est une CBR et CBZ lecteur facile à utiliser et multi-plateforme qui prélectures et caches pages pour la vitesse. </p> <p> Resized images are crisp, and you can view pages one or two at a time.

Comical est open-source, alors n'hésitez pas à apporter de nouvelles fonctionnalités! </p> </description> <screenshots> <screenshot type="default">http://comical.sourceforge.net/images/comical-0.5-linux.jpg</screenshot> <screenshot>http://comical.sourceforge.net/images/comical-0.6-win32.jpg</screenshot> </screenshots> <url type="homepage">http://comical.sourceforge.net/</url> <updatecontact>richard_at_hughsie.com</updatecontact> </application>
The AppData file MUST be named with the same root as the .desktop file, so if the .desktop file is named org.gnome.SomeApp.desktop
then the AppData file MUST be called org.gnome.SomeApp.appdata.xml
.
app-data-validate usage
Although you can just include the .appdata.xml file in the package, you MUST run appdata-validate --relax
(in %check
or %install
) and have BuildRequires: appdata-tools
, to help ensure .appdata.xml file safety and spec-compliance. Here are some examples of usage:
appdata-validate --relax --nonet %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/appdata/*.appdata.xml
