The appstream-glib provides GObjects and helper methods to make it easy to read and write AppStream metadata. It also provides a simple DOM (Document Object Model) implementation that makes it easy to edit nodes and convert to and from the standardized XML representation.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.
