Appstream Stores support for chaotic-aur packages #39

Closed SShubham1 closed 2 years ago

SShubham1 commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to support appstream for chaotic-aur packages so that user could see the app infomation on software centre which uses appstream backend (e.g KDE Discover, Gnome Software etc.) and installs the package from it.

@dr460nf1r3 @JustTNE these would need to be patched to use our repo: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/archlinux-appstream-data/trunk/PKGBUILD

Where do they source the icons from? 🤔

SShubham1 commented 2 years ago

Maybe from /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps, /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/icons/*.* in the file listing of the package

dr460nf1r3 commented 2 years ago

This would surely be an idea, but it would require installing every single package to extract the icons?

SShubham1 commented 2 years ago

Yeah think so as it would requires a script to download all packages which has an icon and desktop file from repository.
