appstream

Description

Software component metadata management
AppStream is a metadata specification, allowing to write metadata for
software projects in a standardized format.
It provides facilities to easily access and transform the data, as well
as a few additional services to allow building feature-rich software center
applications.

This package provides tools to generate, maintain and query the AppStream
data pool of installed and available software, and enables integration
with the APT package manager.

The 'appstreamcli' tool can be used for accessing the software component
pool as well as for working with AppStream metadata directly, including
validating it for compliance with the specification.
