This is OK so far and it works... But libappstream-glib (which provides the

In which way is it "not nice"? Only with regard to the buildroot?
Or do you want to keep your local installation completely free of GTK
(and possibly even GLib?) when rpmbuilding packages without using tools
like Mock?
if we package software
based on Qt or any other GUI toolkit. Is there an alternative way to validate
appdata files without pulling in software related to a certain GUI toolkit?
Just my opinion on this: I would not worry that much about this. GUI
toolkit wars are silly anyway. And it could even be that around the
appstream stuff not all is carved into stone either.
