Look into getting into the GNOME software center #133

Open ct-martin opened 6 years ago

ct-martin commented 6 years ago

As of Fedora 28 GNOME supports some third-party software. We should look into getting our stuff in there. If we can, we also won't need to maintain a custom application for installing software, which would allow us to dedicate the time and energy elsewhere.

Update

An email has been sent to the Gnome Software mailing list. Currently awaiting response.

Tjzabel commented 6 years ago

Response has been received! There seems to be a way through here to get TigerOS repositories available in GNOME Software if the tigeros.repo is enabled.

Update

After a few attempts, it seems we cannot get any TigerOS RPM packages to show up in the Gnome Software center. A potential reason is because we do not have icons to go along with the packages. It is unsure if this is required, or just nice to have.

We will keep trying, but we may have to go along with our original plan of creating our own GTK installer.

At this point, I've pretty much given up on this aspect. I am going to leave this up for a little longer, but I feel we may end up just closing this issue.

I think doing our own packager GUI is the only way to go at this point for what we wish to accomplish.

I found some other docs I'm going to try when do the mirrors too. But yeah, this is proving annoying.

We should look into this issue one more time before working on a self-made solution.
