Need reference to old desktop ID to fix gnome-software and the ODRS #27

Closed hughsie closed 5 years ago

hughsie commented 5 years ago

In Fedora, the application ID is blender.desktop but on flatpak it is org.blender.Blender. To "merge" the old and new IDs together in front-ends like gnome-software and KDE discover, and to use reviews reported against the old ID with the new ID you need to add an line in the existing provides section in the metainfo.xml file:

<provides>
  <id>blender.desktop</id>
</provides>

See https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2017/07/05/using-a-reverse-style-application-ids-in-your-application/ for more details.

Thanks for the issue @hughsie.

I had been meaning to do that for a long time, but kept forgetting it, so this is the reminder I needed. :slightly_smiling_face:
