Title:
Software-center not documented
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
Software Center does not fill in fields from correctly built packages
and the documentation is missing or impossible to find with reasonable
searching.
Trying to build packages that fill in information in the software
center is difficult or impossible.
When writing small utlity programs for Ubuntu 11.04 one want to have
all fields filled in the software center. These include:
Installed-size, as defined here,
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Installed-Size
If this is in the control file, it is ignored by software center.
License: unable to find how to fill this in correctly.
Updates: unable to find out how to fill this in correctly.
Screenshot: it is not open to have a site like:
http://screenshots.debian.net/
When trying to add a screenshot, only screenshots for official packages can be added. If you are distributing your software utility from your own website or from sourceforge, then you apparently cannot have a screenshot. Why can it not be in the package, or where is the documentation that says that it can?
Perhaps I can answer these questions by studying the source for
software-center, but I shouldn't have to do that.
Thank,
