[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49952] Incorrect license in appdata file

[Orion Poplawski]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #49952 (project octave):

I would assume so, since that's what the docs indicate.  Apparently though
there must be some backwards compatibility going on.

$ appstream-util validate
/usr/share/appdata/www.octave.org-octave.appdata.xml
/usr/share/appdata/www.octave.org-octave.appdata.xml: FAILED:
• tag-invalid           : <metadata_license> is not valid [GPLv3+]
• url-not-found         : <screenshot> url not found
[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/images/screenshot.png]

so it seems to translate <license> to <metadata_license>.  Looks there is an
issue with the screenshot url as well.

Also, instead of:
<application>
 <id type="desktop">/path/to/desktopfile</id>

the docs now have:

<component type="desktop">
 <id>gnome-power-statistics.desktop</id>

but again, the validate tool isn't complaining.  Ah, but in strict mode:

$ appstream-util validate-strict
/usr/share/appdata/www.octave.org-octave.appdata.xml
/usr/share/appdata/www.octave.org-octave.appdata.xml: FAILED:
• tag-invalid           : <metadata_license> is not valid [GPLv3+]
• tag-missing           : <project_license> is not present
• value-missing         : <!-- Copyright [year] [name] --> is not present
• url-not-found         : <screenshot> url not found
[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/images/screenshot.png]
• translations-required  : <name> has no translations
• translations-required  : <summary> has no translations
• translations-required  : <description> has no translations
• attribute-invalid     : <licence> is deprecated, use <metadata_license>
instead
