[LUG.ro] AppStream, un principio de unificacion en Linux?

[Horacio]

La idea de crear AppStream es tener una herramienta común en todas las
distribuciones y que permita a los usuarios instalar el programa sin
dolores de cabeza...

---------------------------------------------

Recently in Germany there was a cross-distribution meeting among the
major vendors (Red Hat, Canonical, Novell, Debian, Mandriva, etc) to
discuss a common application installer for Linux and one unified
application store / market-place. The goal would be to have a common
user-interface for application installation, how/what meta-data to
use, determine a defined protocol for non-static meta-data, and decide
what meta-data to share across distributions. Fortunately, this was a
very successful meeting.
