Hey :) Might be just the right time to update those packages. I have recently worked a lot on the build pipeline of Limba, and with the new `limba-build`, building...

Good idea, I think - originally I intentionally didn't clean up that stuff because it might still be useful, but since we automatically clean up data in the `media/` directory...

Are you using the released version or a Git snapshot? In the former case, you will want this patch: https://github.com/ximion/limba/commit/55c1cdda6766a01d6004aa16955ddf59f9f0c6c9 Please keep in mind that the Limba development isn't very...

This will - sort of - be fixed with the next asgen release. Suites with higher priority already override lower-priority data, and soon components can be marked as deleted as...

Everything is already there in appstream-generator to support this. The respective packages just need a metainfo file specifying modaliases. See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-provides (modalias YAML field exists as well) as well as...

> Can we generate this from the apt metadata instead of / as well as making pkgs provide the metainfo file? I guess so (don't we do a similar hack...

Yes, this should be a solvable issue - the only thing that we would need from the main archive would be the icon tarball. Since each instance of asgen has...

Sounds good, PPA dependencies will likely be the trickiest thing.

@z3ntu You could inject the icon themes via the extradata fake package: https://github.com/ximion/appstream-generator/blob/master/docs/asgen-config.md#injecting-extra-metainfo--removing-components - you would just need to keep that up to date. You definitely want a `baseSuite` but...
