Description-en: Library to access AppStream services (development files)
AppStream is a metadata specification, allowing to write metadata for
software projects in a standardized format. This allows software centers
to display useful information for not installed software, as well as
determining software the user might want to install (e.g. to open an
unknown file type or to make missing firmware available).
.
This package contains development files necessary to develop
software management tools which use the AppStream library.
