On some Linux desktops, we get extra icons in the application dock.
This happens because the dock doesn't know the "class" of the
application. We need to add StartupWMClass=xxx lines, where xxx is
the name associated with the application.
This patch addresses the following issue:
https://gitlab.com/kicad/packaging/kicad-ubuntu-builder/kicad-daily-package/-/issues/30
While it was written against Ubuntu, it also affects Fedora, and
probably other Linux systems too.
(cherry picked from commit e8e25fd732)
This avoids conflict with existing kicad installations. Older version
files are preferentially opened by older KiCad installations while new
KiCad files get opened by version 6
The X-AppStream-Ignore=true will signal to appstream generators that
these programs won't have their own appstream information, since we
provide these programs under the main KiCad appstream file.
* Switch to using org.kicad.kicad as the main app ID
* Move the appstream file to a metainfo file
* Rename all metadata files to use the reverse DNS scheme
* Add header matching to mime type files where possible
* Add a mime type for gerber job files
* Add a QA test that verifies all the linux metadata files and
run it in CI
* Update the visible names in the launcher entries to be more
consistent with the internal visible names
* Update various strings and items in the metainfo file so they
are more descriptive and easier to read
