Eventually I discovered that it looks for the uncompressed `Components` and `icons` files, and then downloads the compressed ones. (It actually downloads `.xz`, then recompresses as `.gz`.) So currently I'm having to generate the uncompressed files in a separate step after running `asgen`.\r\n\r\nThis is more of a bug in `apt` than in `asgen` but since `apt` is out there like this in Xenial right now, it's probably a good idea to match what it expects."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ximion/appstream-generator/issues/comments/215598021","html_url":"https://github.com/ximion/appstream-generator/issues/4#issuecomment-215598021","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ximion/appstream-generator/issues/4","id":215598021,"user":{"login":"ximion","id":417468,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/417468?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion","html_url":"https://github.com/ximion","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ximion/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-29T00:05:17Z","updated_at":"2016-04-29T00:05:17Z","body":"Unfortunate...\r\nThat `reprepro` doesn't add the uncompressed entry is a bug in reprepro, in my opinion, since this is common practice. In the Debian repo, the uncompressed entries for every file are present, and there are no uncompressed versions shipped.\r\nSo maybe file a bug against reprepro? I could also ask the Debian ftp-masters about this, just to be sure.\r\n\r\nFor the metadata, I think you are running into https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/issues/98 which - as soon as it's fixed - I will propose for SRU at Ubuntu.\r\nI really don't want to add a legacy-compatibility mode for the generator, but if this doesn't get fixed in Xenial, I fear there will be no way around that. I will push Richard a bit to consider solving that issue ;-)\r\n\r\nThe other issue you could be running into is that your metadata priority is too low, but if `appstreamcli` shows the stuff, then this cause is unlikely."}}
