Summary:
C: A fast AppStream metadata generator
Description:
C: |-
<p>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.</p>
<p>The <em>appstream-generator</em> tool generates AppStream metadata from the repositories of a software
distribution. It currently supports the following repository formats / distributions: Debian, Ubuntu,
Arch Linux, RPM-MD (Fedora, Mageia).</p>
<p>The generator will produce AppStream catalog metadata files in the AppStream YAML or XML format to
be shipped to users, as well as a detailed HTML report about found components and HTML and JSON reports
on issues detected with the scanned metadata. It reads .desktop files as well as metainfo files, renders
fonts, scales images, caches screenshots etc. to produce high-quality metadata for AppStream based software
centers to consume. Usually, <em>appstream-generator</em> is integrated with the existing software build
& packaging workflow of a distribution.</p>
