The appstreamcli belonging to the appstream project supercedes appstream-util, which belongs to the appsttream-glib project:

This is a known issue: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1053

Long story short: Both tools / libraries are still in use, so we would actually need to validate with both tools.

  • Require validation using both appstream-util and appstreamcli

Ah, I had come across that issue some time ago.

Should I mention both tools? Maybe that'd ease the transition.

Or should I leave it be until there's a decision?
