Description: Software component metadata management
AppStream is a metadata specification which permits software components to
provide information about themselves to automated systems and end-users
before the software is actually installed.
The AppStream project provides facilities to easily access and transform
this metadata, as well as a few additional services to allow building
feature-rich software centers and similar 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.
