#172 Please install the supplied AppData file

[Richard Hughes]

Please consider installing this AppData file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/desktop/tuxpaint.appdata.xml

This is used in GNOME and KDE software installers to add the application description and some screenshots. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. The AppData file needs to be installed to /usr/share/appdata/ on Linux and the basename needs to match the .desktop basename. It would also be great if you could integrate the file with your translation system (e.g. intltool) to make the descriptions translated.

See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for more details; thanks!

In addition to the above, I've made a .metainfo.xml file for the "stamps" collection. Without this, unfortunately some (many?) users of GUI package managers may not see the stamps collection.

I've submitted workaround patch for Fedora at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1342396

I'm not associated with any other distros: the best fix is to add this file to the actual project.

thanks,
Colin

Crud, Richard's link is a 404 now. ;(

Implemented this on https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/merge-requests/12/. I did not deal with the stamps file in that MR because it was getting quite unwieldy!

Merged. Thanks @wjjjjt & @hughsie!
