[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65355] Minor update to AppStream MetaInfo file

[Alexander Wilms]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #65355 (group octave):

No, the appdata path does not need to be supported by Octave any longer. The
spec states:

"Important: Legacy Path

AppStream tools scan the /usr/share/appdata/ path for legacy compatibility as
well. It should not be used anymore by new software though, even on older
Linux distributions (like RHEL 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) the metainfo path is
well supported. Support for the legacy path will likely be dropped completely
with a future AppStream 1.0 release."
