[EPEL-devel] Question about appdata in EPEL7

[Orion Poplawski]

At some point it appears that appdata files moved from 
/usr/share/appdata to /usr/share/metainfo.  Does the libappstream-glib 
library or whatever cares about appdatafiles in RHEL7 
(libappstream-glib-0.7.8-2.el7) work with /usr/share/metainfo, or does 
it have to be /usr/share/appdata?  I'm leaning towards assuming metainfo 
will work  since both evince and control-center in RHEL7.6 install files 
there.  If this does prove true, perhaps we can have epel-rpm-macros 
changed?

Thanks.

I also find this interesting:

# rpm -qf /usr/share/appdata /usr/share/metainfo
file /usr/share/appdata is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/metainfo is not owned by any package
