Description:
createrepo_as is a tool that allows us to create AppStream metadata
from a directory of packages. It is typically used when generating
distribution metadata, usually at the same time as modifyrepo or createrepo.

What this tool does:
* Searches a directory of packages and reads just the RPM header of each.
* If a package contains an interesting file, just the relevant
  files are decompressed from the package archive.
* A set of plugins are run on the extracted files, and if these match certain
  criteria CraApplication objects are created.
* Any screenshots referenced are downloaded to a local cache. This is optional
  and can be disabled with --nonet.
* When all the packages are processed, some of the CraApplication objects
  are merged into single applications. This is how fonts are collected.
* The CraApplication objects are serialized to XML and written
  to a compressed archive.
* Any application icons or screenshots referenced are written
  to a .tar archive.
