Comment 3 for bug 1818990

Hi!

I'm facing the same issue.

I maintain several Ubuntu packages as part of the XtraDeb initiative. Sadly, none of my packages appear in gnome-software.

Some of the packages I provide are just newer versions of already existing distro packages. I use the exact same packaging recipe. Still, my versions do not show.

One of the main objective of my initiative is to facilitate the end-user life with packages that do not exist in the distro (orphans). This bug/limitation partially defeats that purpose.

Is there a workaround for this? Other than: sudo apt install <package>.

Thank you!
