A desktop entry gives a software centre a name and a one-line Comment, and nothing else — no description, no licence, no age rating, no statement of what hardware the interface was laid out for. GNOME Software and Discover both show an application with no metainfo as an unexplained icon, and both packages this repository produces were in that position. packaging/paris.tourolle.darkroom.metainfo.xml is the AppStream component, and it is installed by the PKGBUILD as well as by the Flatpak manifest because the description, the licence fields and the OARS rating are facts about the application rather than about how it was packaged. Writing it twice is how the two packages start disagreeing. Two things in it are easy to get wrong and are commented in place. The two licence fields differ on purpose: metadata_license covers the file itself and has to permit the unconditional redistribution and reformatting a catalogue does, which GPLv3 does not, so it is CC0-1.0; project_license is the application's own and reads GPL-3.0-or-later to match D8. And the component id is not a fifth name but the same string as the desktop basename, the Flatpak application id, and the app_id dr_ui::run sets — a rename that misses one costs the icon or the association, and neither failure announces itself. D15's decision that the target devices are a tablet and a desktop is stated as a display_length requirement rather than left implicit, so a software centre does not offer this on hardware where the photograph and the parameter panel cannot both be on screen. Validates clean under appstream-util validate-relax; appstreamcli --pedantic reports only that the gitea URLs are unreachable from a machine that cannot see that host.

Building
Desktop:
cargo run -p darkroom-desktop
Android (containerised toolchain, see docker/android):
./docker/android/build.sh cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a build --release
Current state
Working: workspace, GPU context and compute pass, adaptive Slint shell, Android cross-compilation of the core crates.
Not yet working: the zero-copy display path. The build currently uploads frames through the CPU, which is exactly what ARCH §6.1 forbids — measured at 96% of frame time at 4K. Replacing it is spike S1, the project's highest priority.
cargo run -p dr-gpu --example bench --features readback
reproduces that measurement.
Licence
GPL-3.0-or-later.
