The appstream validator has some complaints about the metainfo XML

[musicinmybrain]

What Happened?

With harvey 2.0.0, and with appstreamcli from https://github.com/ximion/appstream/releases/tag/v1.0.2 as packaged in Fedora (latest upstream release is 1.0.3), appstreamcli validate --no-net io.github.danirabbit.harvey.metainfo.xml fails due to three warnings.

Steps to Reproduce

appstreamcli validate --no-net --explain io.github.danirabbit.harvey.metainfo.xml

Expected Behavior

Since appstream validate fails (exits with nonzero status) when there are warnings, even without --strict, it would be nice if the metainfo file could validate without warnings.

This is not a serious issue for me in Fedora, because it’s appstream-util validate-relax --nonet that must pass in Fedora (which it does), and I can just ignore appstreamcli validate. However, I suppose there might exist distributions or app stores / software centers that do need appstreamcli validate to succeed.

Opened ximion/appstream#661 to add pantheon:dark as an environment ID upstream

This app is however distributed as a Flatpak in AppCenter. Please don’t package it in Fedora. I’d much rather folks get the app directly from the remote where I maintain it

Harvey has been packaged in Fedora for about six years, since Fedora 28, and I have maintained the package for about half that time. I chose to respect your request and orphan (stop maintaining) it. Unless another packager chooses to pick it up despite your preference, it will be automatically retired, and Fedora 41 will be the last release with a harvey RPM package.
