Oh, I somehow didn't see the reject message... It probably drowned in the mail flood...

Yes, that was unfortunate - I am the upstream maintainer of this software as well, and some stuff got in the way so I couldn't make the release a few days earlier, so it would have made it in on it's own. The point for having it (since it is no heavily used library in Debian yet), is that it implements the AppStream specification in a very recent version (which is what the features are about). This allows us to provide a set of metadata for Jessie post-release, which is immediately useful for people without further changes. But if that's too much change to let it in, I will send this package to backports later instead. > An exception would be if they're causing real bugs in Debian. > >> Bugfixes: >> * dep11: refine quote test >> * Don't count it as problem if no metadata is found [1] >> * Check if AppInstall directory exists, before attempting to scan it [3] >> * Don't query system categories while processing metadata [2] >> #~#~# >> [...] > > I'm interested in the bug fixes in isolation, but I'd need a debdiff for > first please. I've sent a debdiff in the previous mail - or would you like one with the patches cherry-picked? Anyway, the bugfixes are: https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/a1331a9462e86fc962319e04aa226c9578d23702 => Fixes a false-positive in the DEP-11 validator[1]. https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/8322fa1c8abd52b8de623fa067bb75f807fa7f6c => Prints a wrong message telling the user that reading the metadata was not successful, while it actually was fine. (This happens, for example, if an user does not have app-install-data installed, but AppStream data available in /var/cache/app-info) https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/fbd06331a5dae3909f83210abf8b29f1ed196079 => This one solves another incarnation of the bug mentioned above. https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/1a8be47411366dc65730207b6f1c5d089c01546e => Solves a performance issue (scanning all XDG categories is expensive if you do it often) and clears debug spam in applications using libappstream, which tells the user that icons for an XDG category are missing. Since GNOME and KDE have different categories, the messages do always exist. Hope that helps. As said, in case the features weight too much, I'll do a backport instead.
