GUFW Doesnt Show in Discover (KDE Plasma) #69

I thought this was an issue with KDE but after filling a bug I got this response:

"Discover only shows apps that have AppStream metadata; that is to say, apps that have registered themselves as actual apps. Discover doesn't show packages that lack this metadata. gufw lacks this metadata because it's a technical package, not a user-facing app. As such, it's intentional that Discover doesn't show it."

This app is great and much easier to use than the other firewall apps that do show up. I'd imagine that this may cause it not to show up in other DEs app stores. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure if would be this? https://freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html Someone could confirm it please? Thanks.
