[Fedora-packaging] Re: Adding an alias name to my package

Hello
Would anyone know how to make a package findable under an alternative
name in the gnome-software application?
I'm maintaining the azureus package in Fedora. The upstream project
changed name to Vuze ages ago but as name-changes are a bit of a pain
in fedora, I've kept the original name for the package.
I've added a "Provides" in the spec-file, so the package is findable by
dnf under the new name (dnf search vuze) but additionally, I'd like the
gnome-software application to find it when searching for Vuze. Would
anyone know how I go about doing this?

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but you could simply deploy a Vuze
appdata XML file along with the Azureus AppData file. I believe GNOME
Software will correctly handle this and point to the same package for
this.
