    FS-UAE cannot be found in modern software centers such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover
    because its AppStream metadata are not generated for some reason:

    I am not sure what the reason is because both the desktop and icon files look correct.

    The reason is that the fs-uae-launcher package uses various icons
    where the copyright is not clarified by upstream. This has caused
    the fs-uae-launcher package to be rejected by the FTP team.

    I have filed an upstream bug report for that [1].

    I'm sorry, but I have not looked into AppStream support yet and I don't
    use it myself. If you want the fs-uae package to support AppStream, I
    suggest that you send me a patch.

    Hello Adrian,




    The problem seems to be with the fs-uae package, not fs-uae-launcher. The package is available in Trixie/Sid, but has no AppStream metadata generated
    for some reason.




    Regards,

    Daniel

    There is no need to add the AppStream metadata. They are recommended, but
    not required. They should be auto-generated from the desktop/icon files
    present in the package, but it does not happen for fs-uae for some reason. Possibly because there is "NoDisplay=true" in the desktop file. This is what this ticket is about.




    Or is the "NoDisplay=true" in fs-uae.desktop intentional and the fs-uae package should be used in combination with fs-uae-launcher (that is not currently available for the reasons you mentioned)?




    Thanks!




    Regards,

    Daniel

    If the "NoDisplay=true" in fs-uae.desktop is intentional and fs-uae-launcher is what should be used as a GUI, you can close this ticket.
