What is the difference between lvfs and vendor-directory?

KDE has recently added support for lvfs. That is enabled by default, but when looking at the software sources I also see 'vendor-directory - Vendor (Automatic)'enter image description here

I have not been able to find what vendor-directory is or what it offers extra in relation to lvfs. Does anyone know what the difference is?

KDE added support for Fwupd. LVFS comes with Fwupd.

LVFS is used for those vendors that are supported. The list of vendors can be found on the fwup website.

If your vendor is NOT on that list you need to enable vendor-directory.
