Description-en: Generator for AppStream metadata
AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for creating and sharing
metadata of software components available in the package repositories
of a distribution.
It provides specifications for an unified software component metadata format
as well as tools to read, write and validate the metadata.
.
This package contains a tool to generate collection metadata from package
repositories.
It will extract icons, download screenshots, validate and transform the
metadata and return XML or YAML files that can be read by AppStream clients,
such as software centers.
The `appstream-generator` tool will also generate issue reports as
JSON documents and HTML pages.
