What is this about the metainfo-file?
Hello,
I try to understand the "metainfo" file I was pointed to by an
"AppStream hint".
https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/backintime-qt.html
There are some links pointing to freedesktop.org. There is also
appstream.debian.org.
I read that and got the keys of that concept.
But I want to know how this is related to Debian especially Python
projects. Python projects to offer meta data in form of pyproject.toml
or setup.cfg. So why should I add another (redundant) meta data file?
Where is the location of that file? Should it be in the root of the repo
or is it part of the "/debian" (with control file, etc) folder in that
repo?
What is the advantage for Debian users of such a file? Debian doesn't
offer a "software center". ;)
Kind
Christian
