[Soc-coordination] Status Report. Project AppStream/DEP­11 for the Debian Archive. Week 5

[Abhishek Bhattacharjee]

Hi,

This week I have made a DAK module called generate_metadata.py.[0]
It generates a yaml file conforming to DEP-11[1] draft.

It also fetches Screenshots of a package(component) using urllib.
It also create a cache for the icons i.e it extracts icons from a deb
package.

The module can be run using a dak command:
>> dak.py generate-metadata <suitename>

The module make use of another script called check_appdata.py[2] which
lists all the packages(.deb files) that has appstream metadata and .desktop
files associated with them.

Next task is to create a tarball of all the icons. Inserting the yaml file
into the database. And making use of DAK's orm to fetch data rather than
using my own sql.
