Problem

Minetest is missing data about supported devices in it's Appstream metadata file

For exemple it can be seen in GNOME Software that support of computers/phones (screen size), pointer, mouse, keyboard, controller and touch screen is unknown.

I also noticed several warnings when running appstreamcli validate on the file, notably:

• URLs for screenshots are http instead of https
• Developer infos are missing
• First description paragraph is too short (not sure if it's a problem)
• Missing "Launchable"

Not sure what the last item means, when generating an appstream file with the official generator the id parameter was only the app ID (now it includes the .desktop extension) and the launchable property is like the id we have now.

The .desktop file includes translation for description that the Appstream file don't have.

There is a duplicated info in the long description ("the old and slow hardware" part).

Solutions

Fix these (little) problems.

Apparently the .desktop file could even be auto generated from the metainfo file.

Alternatives

Do nothing
