Is it part of the GNOME default installation? It seems to me that this project won't be useful to such users if isenkram is not part of a default Debian KDE or GNOME installation, nor part of an Ubuntu one. Norbert, do you think upstream will be receptive to maintaining an appstream file? The reason I think maybe not, is because Goyal wants users to use a "curl | sudo sh" installation method, which doesn't benefit from appstream integration. I attempted to forward this bug to upstream bug tracker, but a Launchpad<->Ubuntu One prevents me from logging into Launchpad. If either of you are able to log into Launchpad, please forward this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre Regards, Nicholas
