Description: Software component metadata management
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.
The AppStream project provides facilities to easily access and transform
this metadata, as well as a few additional services to allow building
feature-rich software centers and similar applications.
This package provides tools to generate, maintain and query the AppStream
data pool of installed and available software, and enables integration
with the APT package manager.
The 'appstreamcli' tool can be used for accessing the software component
pool as well as for working with AppStream metadata directly, including
validating it for compliance with the specification.

Description: Developer documentation for AppStream
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 provides developer documentation for AppStream.
