Description Rex Dieter 2016-09-11 13:55:16 UTC 
I've not been able to nail this down yet, but  kpackage_install_package macro  sometimes fails to generate metainfo with cmake output  similar to (using plasma-breeze as an example):

# CMake Warning at /usr/lib/cmake/KF5Package/KF5PackageMacros.cmake:45 (message):
# couldn't generate metainfo for org.kde.breezedark.desktop: Error: Can't
# find plugin metadata: /builddir/build/BUILD/breeze-5.7.4/lookandfeel.dark

Unfortunately, "Error: Can't find plugin metadata" is a bit too vague to help diagnose what's going wrong

Reproducible: Sometimes
Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2016-09-11 14:00:14 UTC 
So far, I've seen it in 2 cases:

breeze: org.kde.breezedark.desktop.appdata.xml
plasma-sdk : org.kde.plasma.plasmoidviewershell.appdata.xml

since kf5-5.25 release (continues with recent 5.26)
Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2016-09-11 14:02:49 UTC 
Here's the full cmake output for the breeze case (I patched kpackage macro to output the full kpackagetool5 command used):

-- /usr/bin/kpackagetool5 --appstream-metainfo /builddir/build/BUILD/breeze-5.7.4/lookandfeel.dark OUTPUT_FILE /builddir/build/BUILD/breeze-5.7.4/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/org.kde.breezedark.desktop.appdata.xml
CMake Warning at /usr/lib/cmake/KF5Package/KF5PackageMacros.cmake:46 (message):
  couldn't generate metainfo for org.kde.breezedark.desktop: Error: Can't
  find plugin metadata: /builddir/build/BUILD/breeze-5.7.4/lookandfeel.dark
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:40 (kpackage_install_package)
