[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add appdata file and make it known to Makefile.am (#1142)

[Richard Hughes]

If it helps, over 900 other upstream projects are shipping AppData files. If it helps, without an AppData being supplied the application is invisible in the default software center in Suse, Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora. It works in Fedora 24 because someone wrote an AppData file and shipped it downstream, but it's madness to require all different distros to do the same thing for a file that's supposed to be written and kept up to date by upstream projects. I'm a proud Geany user (and have been for a very long time) and the attitudes I've heard here make me sad indeed.
