Public bug reported:
Gnome-Software does not include a software package's name in the details
section of each software it catalogs and I want this to be added for the
following reasons.
1) When submitting bug reports and feature requests, it is necessary to
know the package name. When I use gnome-software to install a piece of
software, I expect to be able to go back to gnome-software to discover
software's package name. Since it doesn't include this pertinent detail,
I'm having to use a number of command to discover it.
2) Although I use gnome-software to discover available software, I
always like to collect that software's package name, so I can add to my
"sudo apt install" list, so that when I set up my computer from scratch,
I can use one command to reinstall all the software packages I've
installed previously.
These are my two reason, but I'm sure others have more. The bottom line
is, the package name is a very pertinent piece of information that
gnome-software should include in the details section of each software it
catalogs. Look at what is in the details section right now. Hardly any
of those details are anything I'll ever be interested in, but the
package name is VERY pertinent to me.
Please add this.
