Description: Compose metadata catalogs from directory trees
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.
This permits informative displays of new applications to users in software
centers, as well as allowing a system to make decisions on which new software
a user might want to install (e.g. missing firmware or media handlers).
.
This package extends the `appstreamcli` utility with a `compose` subcommand
to generate AppStream metadata and media files from directory trees.
