All of these files fail to validate: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/appstream-appdata Validator: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ Error message: Validation failed! libreoffice-*.appdata.xml did not validate: [project_license] is not present [screenshot] url not found
Thanks for your report, Alexander. Well, these files were provided by Richard Hughes (AppData developer) himself. I’m not very familiar with the AppData protocol, but I understand it’s still very much changing and AppData files in every project must keep up with the changes. I’m CCing Richard to let him know of this :-)
> project_license is not present This is a new tag and although advised is not a hard requirement -- it's a nice to have -- see http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/#project_license for details. > url not found http://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/EN-Project_images/800x600/Base/Screenshot-87.png is indeed missing -- did someone perhaps move them somewhere else?
