Hello Fernando,
I really find it funny that you put appstream-glib in genutils, because
that was exactly where I had put it at first, right under appdata-tools
and I only changed it after reading the developers site that stated it was
a library.
Regarding the dependencies, thats fine. As I am much much newer to it
than you I had to ask that things were checked.
I got the list of dependencies by editing the configure.ac file. The
chain dependencies really get me. Having to check each and every depended
on package on each package page and then to only include the bare minimum.
I needed the practice with adding new pages. I find it a lot easier just
to use the template and modify that rather than spending a long time
looking for a similar page to copy.
Regards,
Christopher.
