#15 Linux AppData file
This adds a file which highlights your game in Linux "app stores". See https://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for reference.
Depends on https://sourceforge.net/p/trigger-rally/patches/14/
Hi Matthias, thank you for your contribution. Where does the file need to sit in order to actually make use of it as intended? (I am not very well informed on a technical level. So please excuse me if this question sounds odd to you.) I hope I can add it where it is needed but fear I might not be able to because it probably needs to be copied in a specific folder outside of the game directory during the installation routine.
/usr/share/appdata is the default location. See https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/423503 for an integration test. Sorry, I was a bit lazy. A better patch for everyone would be a true integration into the Makefile install rule.

The default location has since changed to
/usr/share/metainfo, which is hopefully the final location. (This is a change in AppStream upstream which has hopefully been picked up by all the distributions by now.)See: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#spec-component-location
Desktop and AppData setup was finalized in [r960]. Note that I didn't test this, so let me know if there are problems.
/usr/share/applications/usr/share/metainfoSee [r960], [r959], [r958].
