Description of problem: It would be nice if createrepo_c, can generate AppStream [1] data for repository as well. Likely not default, but only if some option is specified. See bug 1094976 for background. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppStream Once this will work work in createrepo_c, I will be happy to use this option in Copr and generate those metadata there.
Why do we need this in createrepo_c? We already have libappstream-glib (appstream-builder utility) which can generate AS md. https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib
How can I use it from command line? I expect something like some-util /path/to/yum/repo Which would generate AppStream from those packages and update repodata. Is /usr/bin/appstream-util such util?

For the record it is in package libappstream-glib-builder, which is present only in F21+. I will investigate it.
