[Soc-coordination] Status Report. Project AppStream/DEP­11 for the Debian Archive. Week 3

[Abhishek Bhattacharjee]

Hi,

This week has been productive.
I have been able to include all the fields provided in the DEP-11 draft[0].

Although, the code[1] needs to be modularized a bit more for better
maintenance and readability.

Now, I am able to read a deb package and return Component data as python
dicts.
The list, thus obtained, is then dumped to a file using PyYaml in yaml
format.

I am able to read both the xml files as well as the .desktop files, which
was the agenda for this week.

Next week, I'll will be looking at the DAK database part. I've already
written some code[2] during the application period.
