Hints for gnome-control-center in main

gnome-control-center.desktop ⚙ amd64

Errors

  • icon-not-found
    The icon 'org.gnome.Settings' was not found in the archive. This issue can have multiple reasons:
    • The icon is not present in the archive.
    • The icon is in a wrong directory.
    • The icon is not available in a suitable size (at least 64x64px)
    • On Debian and Ubuntu, the icon is a symlink. The generator cannot read symlinks on these distributions - make the icon a real file.
    To make the icon easier to find, place it in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/<size>/apps and ensure the Icon= value of the .desktop file is set correctly.

Warnings

  • asv-cid-desktopapp-is-not-rdns
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:4 - gnome-control-center.desktop
    The component ID is not a reverse domain-name. Please update the ID to avoid future issues and be compatible with all AppStream implementations. You may also consider to update the name of the accompanying .desktop file to follow the latest version of the Desktop-Entry specification and use a rDNS name for it as well. In any case, do not forget to mention the new desktop-entry in a <launchable/> tag for this component to keep the application launchable from software centers and the .desktop file data associated with the metainfo data.
  • asv-custom-key-duplicated
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:213 - Purism::form_factor
    A key can only be used once.
  • asv-url-homepage-missing
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml -
    This component is missing an `url` element of type `homepage` to link to the project's homepage.
  • translations-not-found
    Unable to add languages information, even though a translation tag was present in the MetaInfo file. Please check that its value is set correctly, and all locale files are placed in the right directories (e.g. /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/ for Gettext .mo files).

Hints

  • asv-cid-missing-affiliation-gnome
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:4 - gnome-control-center.desktop
    The component is part of the GNOME project, but its ID does not start with GNOME's reverse-DNS name ("org.gnome").
  • asv-description-first-para-too-short
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:103 - Settings is the primary interface for configuring your system.
    The first `description/p` paragraph of this component might be too short (< 80 characters). Please consider starting with a longer paragraph to improve how the description looks like in software centers and to provide more detailed information on this component immediately in the first paragraph.
  • asv-developer-name-tag-deprecated
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:156 -
    The toplevel `developer_name` element is deprecated. Please use the `name` element in a `developer` block instead.
  • asv-nonstandard-gnome-extension
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml:204 - kudos
    This tag is a GNOME-specific extension to AppStream and not part of the official specification. Do not expect it to work in all implementations and in all software centers.
  • asv-content-rating-missing
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml -
    This component has no `content_rating` tag to provide age rating information. You can generate the tag data online by answering a few questions at https://hughsie.github.io/oars/
  • asv-developer-info-missing
    gnome-control-center.appdata.xml -
    This component contains no `developer` element with information about its author.
