Description

AppStream is a collaborative effort for making machine-readable software metadata easily available to programs that need it. It is part of the Freedesktop ecosystem and provides a convenient way to retrieve information about available software.

AppStream consists of a specification to describe individual software component metadata in XML (so-called MetaInfo files), as well as a derived specification for a metadata-collection format to provide a list of these metadata entries in XML or YAML for easy consumption by software centers and other tools which need to know about available software in a repository.

devel/appstream: update to 1.1.2 (#1015)

Updates AppStream to 1.1.2. - removes PORTREVISION for the versioned release update - adds the required bash-completion build dependency and installed completion entry - updates the staged library filename and locale manifest - retains MidnightBSD path patches and the existing NO_TEST policy Validated: bmake makesum, patch, build, fake, package, test (NO_TEST), check-license, portlint -C (0 fatal errors), and git diff --check. The upstream test suite was also evaluated after temporarily enabling it: 7/8 tests passed; YAML round-trip failed only because the installed YAML library serializes long XML differently from the test fixture. NO_TEST was therefore retained rather than weakening the test selection. ## Summary by Sourcery …

*: bump PORTREVISION for the textproc/libxml2 2.15 shared library change (#848)

`textproc/libxml2` 2.15 changed SONAME from `libxml2.so.2` to `libxml2.so.16` **and** removed ELF symbol versioning entirely — the new library defines no `LIBXML2_*` versions at all. Consumers built against the old library were never rebuilt, so they still record a dependency on `libxml2.so.2` plus version requirements nothing can satisfy, and fail at load time: ``` ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: version LIBXML2_2.4.30 required by /usr/local/lib/libevdocument3.so.4 not defined ``` ### Scope `Tools/scripts/bump_revision.pl -f -l textproc/libxml2` — **436 Makefiles**: 323 revisions incremented, 113 gained a `PORTREVISION` line. The diff touches nothing but `PORTREVISION` lines (verified: `git diff -U0` shows no other changed line), and spot-checked ports still …
