 Hi,

 For the application installer preview I need the application icons and
 localized description data. I had the fedora-app-data package NAKd, but
 something needs to provide this data. Spot seemed to think it would be
 okay to include as metadata.

 The idea is to:
 * Generate the appstream.xml and appstream.tar files on koji
 * xmlmerge the .xml files and cat the .tar files when mash'ing the compose
 together.

 I've got C code to do the former, although someone familiar with python
 probably wants to re-write the code before putting it into koji. For F20
 we can probably just ship the 15 most popular application icons and
 descriptions in gnome-software, although this won't scale with all the
 apps in Fedora.

 Any questions, I'm hughsie on IRC. Thanks.
