### Where do I submit the `.cab` files?
At the moment we are auto-generating the metadata for various distributions,
but the end goal is for vendors to produce the AppStream metadata themselves
where it would be downloaded directly.
Please [email us](mailto://richard@hughsie.com) if you would like us to start
generating the metadata for your product.
The end goal is for vendors to produce and upload the AppStream metadata
themselves using the `appstream-builder` command line tool, for example:
Users will also be able to download the `.cab` file manually and install it
using the Software application in Linux, although the goal is to be able to
notify them that updates are available.
appstream-builder \
--basename=colorhug-firmware \
--origin=hughski \
ColorHug*/firmware-releases/*.*.*/*.cab
...will produce this file: http://www.hughski.com/downloads/colorhug-firmware.xml
Please [email us](mailto://richard@hughsie.com) if you just want to upload `.cab`
files and you would like us to generate metadata for your product.
