In the early part of the year the Boosters team started working on Software Center/Appstore/Project Brezn stuff, which resulted in some progress on the backend metadata needed to link our OBS with a generic AppStream frontend. However, this effort had to be suspended for 12.2 due to turnover within the team.
From what I have seen in the 12.2 build logs the metadata is generated correctly, isn't?
Matthias submitted and was accepted to do a GSoC to work on AppStream (the fork of Ubuntu Software Center). This is not coordinated with an openSUSE release.
I just noticed there are two different words, AppStream and Appstore :-p
I've been trying to sort out the many bugs reported versus Apper for 12.2 and basically they are all bugs in PackageKit or PackageKit's zypp backend common to any PK frontend. As far as I can see nobody has been trying to fix those for 12.2 and I've raised the worst of those (bnc#775651) as a possible ship stopper as it prevents online update using our GUI tools . Gary Lin is trying to help fix the worst of those. In my opinion YaST s/w management and zypper patch/up are the only working ways to update 12.2.
Since it seems the problems are mostly in the zypp backend and some changed needed in libzypp I would be mostly interested in that part (perhaps I should write to zypp-devel...). The thing is that since Duncan wrote http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-11/msg01549.html 9 months aqo I though the problem was being taking care from the zypp/yast team. But after that email I never saw anything else about the topic, and looking at https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/commits/master it looks like mlandres is the only one working in libzypp at the moment. Do you know anything about the work of the zypp/yast team (and who composes it) or are you in different offices? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+owner@opensuse.org
