I noticed due to an upstream bug report for a project I am on that the Fedora packaging
guidelines still say that GUI applications should install their files as appdata.xml files
and not metainfo.xml files
(
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/). The upstream spec
for the appstream says that everything should be installed as metainfo.xml files and there
are no more appdata.xml files.
I found that there was an issue opened to the packaging committee a year ago
(
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/944), but there has been no comment/follow-up
since then. Should the Fedora guidelines be updated to match the current spec?
