Hi,

I'm working on changing the appstore submission process to extract all
the information it can from the package, rather than having the
submitter re-enter all the information.

I have most of the pieces close to completion, but need to finalize the
mapping between the manifest and the informaiton the user currently
enters.

In particular we have these manfifest fields:

name: unique name for the application
version: version number of the application
title: short (one-line) synopsis of the application
description: extended description of the application; may be
    multi-paragraph

And the following fields in the submission process

Package name
Application name
Tagline
Description

which is presented like the following

  Calculator (com.ubuntu.calculator)
  It does sums!

  This is a calculator.

i.e.

  Application name (package name)
  Tagline

  Description

Some of these are easy:

name = Package name
description = Description

Talking to popey on IRC he suggests that

title = Application name

Which leaves Tagline, which apparently has no analogue in the click
package format.

Is all this correct? If so is there a standard place to take the tagline
from (e.g. the desktop file)?

Thanks,

James
