Hints for hplip in main

hplip.desktop ⚙ x86_64

Warnings

  • asv-cid-desktopapp-is-not-rdns
    hplip.metainfo.xml:3 - hplip.desktop
    The component ID is not a reverse domain-name. Please update the ID to avoid future issues and be compatible with all AppStream implementations. You may also consider to update the name of the accompanying .desktop file to follow the latest version of the Desktop-Entry specification and use a rDNS name for it as well. In any case, do not forget to mention the new desktop-entry in a <launchable/> tag for this component to keep the application launchable from software centers and the .desktop file data associated with the metainfo data.

Hints

  • asv-id-tag-has-type
    hplip.metainfo.xml:3 - hplip.desktop
    The <id/> tag still contains a `type` property, probably from an old conversion to the recent metainfo format.
  • asv-developer-name-tag-deprecated
    hplip.metainfo.xml:6 -
    The toplevel `developer_name` element is deprecated. Please use the `name` element in a `developer` block instead.
  • asv-desktop-app-launchable-omitted
    hplip.metainfo.xml -
    This `desktop-application` component has no `desktop-id` launchable tag, however it contains all the necessary information to display the application. The omission of the launchable entry means that this application can not be launched directly from installers or software centers. If this is intended, this information can be ignored, otherwise it is strongly recommended to add a launchable tag as well.
  • asv-developer-info-missing
    hplip.metainfo.xml -
    This component contains no `developer` element with information about its author.

hp-uiscan.desktop ⚙ x86_64

Errors

  • metainfo-no-summary
    Component does not contain a short summary. Ensure that the components MetaInfo file has a summary tag, or that its .desktop file has a Comment= field set.
    More information can be found in the Desktop Entry specification and the MetaInfo specification.

Warnings

  • no-metainfo
    This software component is missing a MetaInfo file to provide metadata.
    We currently took some data from its desktop-entry file and the long description of the package it is located in.
    This has several disadvantages, like poor markup, too technical descriptions for users of software centers, different components having the same description, etc.
    Additionally, a lot of software with desktop-entry files should either not be installable and searchable via the software catalog (like desktop-specific settings applications) or be tagged accordingly via MetaInfo files.
    Please consider to either hide this desktop-entry file from AppStream by adding a X-AppStream-Ignore=true field to it, or to write a MetaInfo file for this component and send it upstream.
    Generating components from non-MetaInfo files is deprecated, if you do not add a MetaInfo file, this software may vanish from the metadata catalog (and if it is a GUI application, no longer be visible in software centers) in a future distribution release.
    You can consult the MetaInfo quickstart guides for more information on how to write a MetaInfo file, or file a bug with the upstream author of this software component.
