Description-en: Qt5 library to access AppStream services
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 a Qt-based library to access AppStream
services, like the software component metadata pool.
