WWW: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/ 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. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦

Revert "devel/appstream{,-qt,-compose}: Combine into a single port with
SUBPACKAGES."
The current subpackages implementation does not support USES.<subpackage>, which
causes a lot of extra dependencies to be added to the main subpackage.
This reverts commit f292ea6fb5fc10359f130a4e25a3b60ab0df7c6e.

devel/appstream{,-qt,-compose}: Combine into a single port with SUBPACKAGES.
The Qt part was a bit complex as it had two FLAVORS. To work this out the
slave devel/appstream-qt port wasn't removed but instead switched to build
the master port without SUBPACKAGES and against Qt5 only.
The Qt subpackage of the master port is fixed to Qt6 instead. This will make it
possible to just remove Qt5 slave port when we get rid of Qt5 altogether.
