Appstream metadata legacy location and format.

[Scarlett Gately Moore]

Hello!
While packaging this for debian I have run across the lintian errors:

W: yarock: appstream-metadata-in-legacy-location usr/share/appdata/yarock.appdata.xml
E: yarock: appstream-metadata-legacy-format usr/share/appdata/yarock.appdata.xml

This needs to be updated following:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html

Thanks!
Scarlett

Debian will not accept it in its current form, so I patched it to comply. This is in two patches that must be doen in the order of filename change then update metadata.

This patch renames the appdata and desktop files.In, general, AppStream IDs follow a reverse URL scheme, with a <tld>.<vendor>.<product>.<type> scheme (where <type> is optional).

This is the second patch that actually updates the metadata to comply with current standards.

Hi,

Thanks for the patch files. I will use them to fix this as soon as possible.

If you're agree, I will send you a development snapshot before releasing it, order to validate theses changes.

Regards,
Sebastien
