[mkgmap-dev] Patch to add AppStream metadata

Sun Aug 18 16:43:30 BST 2024

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
