Re: [fedora-medical] [URGENT] AppData for fedora medical packages

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi all!

A gentle reminder about appdata files. I've been working on the packages
I own, writing up files and including them in the packages + sending
them upstream. If these are added to the packages before Fedora 20 hits
Beta, they'll be picked up by the gnome-software package automatically.
If you haven't already updated your packages with appdata files, please
do so ASAP. The packages will hit testing first, so if you need help
getting them karma please mail the list and we can test the packages out
and get them to stable quicker.

More info here:

If you need to generate screenshots, they must be in a 16:9 aspect
ratio:

Please drop me a mail if you need any help with this. 

It'll be great to have our medical packages prominently featured in
gnome-software. :)
