build: Remove appstream-glib dependency #414

Closed jtojnar closed 1 year ago

jtojnar commented 1 year ago

It does not appear to be used. And the project is basically dead.

Fixes: https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste/issues/411

Keruspe commented 1 year ago

If it's unused that's clearly a missed point in the migration to meson. it should be used to validate the appdata.xml syntax

How is the project dead ? What replaces it?

jtojnar commented 1 year ago

The maintainer no longer has time to maintain it. GNOME projects are switching to https://github.com/ximion/appstream for validation.

Keruspe commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the pointer.

Do you want to give it a try and add the validation using appstream?
