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

Wed Jul 20 13:10:12 UTC 2016

> As for installing it from tarball or git, the software manager doesn't know that geany is installed since there is no package involved, and adding the appdata.xml doesn't change that (I tested it).

Software Centers != Package Managers... Test GNOME Software and/or KDE Discover - they read also installed files in /usr/share/appdata; which is why it can be beneficial for make install to do it...

but a configure parameter to trigger this would also be an option (configure --enable-appdata for example)

Thoughts?
