Appdata validation alternative
by Mario Blättermann 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi all, currently we have the following command for appdata validation in the guidelines [1]: appstream-util validate-relax --nonet %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/appdata/*.appdata.xml This is OK so far and it works... But libappstream-glib (which provides the appstream-util command) requires gtk3. That's not nice if we package software based on Qt or any other GUI toolkit. Is there an alternative way to validate appdata files without pulling in software related to a certain GUI toolkit? I found already appdata-tools, but that one also depends on libappstream-glib.

Requirements for l10n in Qt5
by Mario Blättermann 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hi all, currently we have the following paragraph in our guidelines for localized qt4 packages [1]: "For Qt-based packages that use the Linguist tool chain, for the localisation utilities add BuildRequires: qt-devel" That's OK so far, but there's no matching package for Qt5. The Linguist toolchain is included in the package qt5-qttools-devel, so that one has to be added to BR for localized Qt5 packages. Would be nice to see this soon in the guidelines, because we get more and more Qt5 software in Fedora.
