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?

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 "
