The data works by keying off "pkgname" and "source_pkgname" attributes that are merged into the AppStream metainfo files when building AppStream repodata. Software centers like Plasma Discover and GNOME Software will lookup these attributes for a given AppStream definition for an application and use that to request to install the package for the application. To put it more succinctly: components.component.pkgname (AppStream) maps to package.name (RPM-MD) directly. The AppStream repodata lag is tolerable because the mapping isn't to a full NEVRA. The software centers figure that out themselves on the fly. > I suppose in the short term at least if you wanted you could hand off > the generation/rpm updating to releng?
