more informatin page with no more information for the update

in the update page you get detailed informations for the update and there is also an more information button but when you click the more information button you come to the app detail view which mean there are no more informations for the update available.

so remove the button cause you don't get more update information or rename it or add the update informations to the detail view page.

update page with more information for the update

this content could be added to the app page when you click the more information button but in general it's redundant content. I would recommand to remove the button.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-01-09 14:04:26 UTC
I agree. That page doesn't actually show more information about the update, just an un-useful description of the package. The page doesn't even show the changelog, so it's actually LESS information! We can probably remove the buttons and un-clutter the UI a bit.
Comment 3 andreas 2018-01-09 14:49:27 UTC
+1 for remove the button
Comment 4 Aleix Pol 2018-01-10 02:07:30 UTC
That's only because you opened a system package. If you open an application you will get the full description, screenshots and the likes.
Comment 5 andreas 2018-01-10 08:42:47 UTC
but you didn't get additional information for the update you get the app informations.
Comment 6 Aleix Pol 2018-01-10 17:20:10 UTC
Because if there's no AppStream information, there's nothing to offer beyond this.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2018-01-10 19:38:20 UTC
If the More Information page for packages is so limited in what it can show, then perhaps we should consider removing it for packages, and only allow Apps to have a More Information page.
Comment 8 Aleix Pol 2018-01-17 15:43:32 UTC
There's information to show, you just are extrapolating information on the strange case that the resource has shitty metadata.

The enemy is shitty metadata, not exposing metadata.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2018-01-18 19:40:59 UTC
The only additional relevant information we could show on the pages for Packages here would be the changelogs, which we get from from PackageKit, not AppStream.
