Description
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 contains a GObject-based library of high-level functions to compose AppStream metadata and auxiliary data (like font renderings, icons, etc.).
