[Tumbleweed] Application metadata and apper

English Install/Boot/Login

I read about application metadata will be available on repos.
I can’t find software to read them on KDE4.
It will be possible to see and edit screenshots of application, rating, comments, etc?

Application metadata is available or repos since ever. That a human can
read and understand it, that’s a different issue. YaST/Zypper/Apper…
all use that metadata.

I have not seen such a feature. Where?

I do have problems understanding these (two?) questions, but as it is stated clearly that this is about Tumbleweed, this will be moved to the Tumbleweed forum.

It is CLOSED for the moment.

Moved from Looking for something other then support and open again.

Can you plese explain which sort of data? I could imgaine tha ther e is data about the packages in a repo (although I have not example of this), but about an application.

This I do not understand at all. Maybe you could explain a bit more, or give examples.

Hello,

AppStream is a project aiming to provide applications information in a cross-distribution way. The status and some technical details about integration in openSUSE can be found here.

Lachu talks about the features that a modern software center could provide using AppStream metadata. An example (even if I’m not sure it uses AppStream): Ubuntu Software Center.

@Lachu:

For KDE, AppStream support for Apper was developed in 2012 but I don’t know if it has been integrated in the main project. Maybe Bodega?
For GNOME, there is Software. Screenshots and rating are available but not comments as far as I can see.
There is no YaST module dealing with AppStream (yet).

Regards,

Antoine

Yes. I talk about AppStream. Frontend to install/update/remove only applications is good think for no technical users.

Wouldn’t it have been nice when you had told that in the first post. Or, even beter, in the title of your thread. Then people knowing something about AppStream could have seen that you want to know something related to AppStream.
