<PRE>Hi,
As promised last week during the packagers meeting, here is a wiki page
dedicated to the AppStream project.
<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=appstream">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=appstream</A>
Please take a look at the list of "things to do", maybe there's something some
of us can work on ?
Here is a an extract :
===================================================
Tasks that can already start
* improve packagekit's urpmi back-end (see the feature matrix :
<A HREF="http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html">http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html</A>)
* begin work on making the Ubuntu Software Center work on mageia, with
Michaël Vogt's (main developer of the USC) and Richard Hugues' (packagekit)
help
* start creating the appdata.xml files in repositories, based on metadata
extracted from the .desktop files. It won't be complete yet but it would be
useful to have the production chain already in place, and mageia-app-db could
use this information to differentiate applications from other packages (it's
based on a fixed list at the moment). See
<A HREF="http://gitorious.org/appstream/resources/blobs/master/appdata.xsd">http://gitorious.org/appstream/resources/blobs/master/appdata.xsd</A>
* adapt urpmi so that it downloads those metadata on the client system
when adding or updating media
===================================================
The metadata part (appdata.xml) is one of the most important things. All
distributions present at the Nuremberg meeting agreed to try to have the chain
of production and the appdata.xml file produced in the next 2 or 3 months. It
would be great if we did it in time (yeah, I know, we also have a distribution
to build :)). And as a side benefit, I could use the information contained in
the appdata.xml file in mageia-app-db :)
Cheers
Samuel Verschelde
