Hi,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppStream
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/
We should ignore that for mkgmap. Reality is, all important 3rd-party
application installers have a plugin infrastructure to access the
distribution specific package metadata, since that contains the really
important information, not the AppStream metadata.

Hi Bas,
to he honest, I have no idea what this is about. It seems not really
related to the mkgmap project, more to the packaging
of Debian?

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Patch to add AppStream metadata
Petter Reinholdtsen provided a patch in Debian Bug #1078746 to add
AppStream metadata for mkgmap.
"
Here is a patch to add Appstream metainfo XML announcing the hardware
handled by this package.
Including this information in the package will ensure programs
mapping
hardware to packages using Appstream information, like the isenkram
package, will know that this package is useful on machines where the
hardware is discovered.
The appstream metadata file can be checked using this command after
package build:
appstreamcli validate-tree --no-net --explain debian/mkgmap
"

Kind Regards,
Bas
