Hmm, that worked fine for me... It really should create that file for
you too.

OpenStore really just calls pkcon install-local on the package file. So

Thanks! Builds and installs fine. Package is now published. Want me to
add a description for it? I'd move the current description up to the
tagline (subtitle) and add the longer description where the short one is
now.

Yes, that's what I mean. The SDK still has its quirks but once you get
around it, it'll ease up things quite a lot.
