Splitting AppStream data into Workstation/Server
Hi,
I hope that soon the first Cockpit add-on appears in the Fedora
repositories. Cockpit can find such add-ons via their AppStream
metainfo data, similar to how GNOME Software finds applications to
install for a desktop environment.
Thus, we would need to install the appstream-data package also on a
Server.
This is a good enough first step, I guess, but appstream-data is quite
big and mostly useless on a Server. We don't need to know about all the
desktop applications and their icons.
So, what about creating a dedicated appstream-data-server package that
carries only those components that we want to see on a Server?
Initially, it would contain only components of type "addon" that extend
"cockpit.desktop", and components of type "service".
