Description of problem: Out of curiosity, I installed the gnome-software rpm, but the interface doesn't, really, show anything. (see attachment) I don't have gnome 3 installed, so I guess that the package is missing some dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Don't install Gnome3 2. Just install gnome-software 3. In terminal, run "gnome-software" Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

looks like some packages about appstream where imported in cauldron, don't know if it could be related
GNOME Software requires an appstream. Ideally integrated with the buildsystem. I've created a complete appstream on my personal machine. When starting up GNOME Software the urpmi packagekit backend hangs with 100% CPU. I've asked for assistance upstream, but not sure I'll get it (GNOME Software developer will not be able to assist with packagekit). I'll guess I'll first have to upload/package the appstream I currently have as to ensure people can assist. Note: They suggested Mageia looks into using hawkey as a dependency solver. Such a change might be pretty invasive and take a long time though.
Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

I didn't have "app folder" to group my software in my software list in gnome. So I have to install gnome-software, but it is totally blank, and does not work, and I cannot create my folders. There is only 2 folders "Sundry" and "utilities" and I cannot change or create my own folders
Might be fixed now, can someone confirm? (Olav, Neal...)
This issue remains present until bug 18669 is resolved. Fortunately, once it is, PackageKit frontends using AppStream will automatically start pulling the data and this will fix itself.

We switched to the Dnf backend (formerly known as the Hif backend, and further formerly known as the Hawkey backend). With this, AppStream repodata support is now integrated into PackageKit, and now I am just waiting for bug 18669 to be resolved to actually provide the metadata.
