+# Appstream Bundle
+
+NOTE: This document is a work-in-progress.
+
+NOTE: This isn't yet implemented in libappstream and the software centers.
+
+[Appstream catalogs](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-CatalogData.html)
+are a standardized way to expose metadata about system components, apps, and updates to software
+centers (i.e. GNOME Software and KDE Discover). The `<bundle/>` tag links an appstream component
+to a packaging format. This is used by the software centers to decide which code path (or plugin)
+should handle the component. For instance: components with a `<bundle type="package">...</bundle>`
+will be handled by [PackageKit](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/), and components
+with a `<bundle type="flatpak">...</bundle>` will be handled by [libflatpak](https://docs.flatpak.org/).
+This document will define how to format an appstream component's `<bundle>` tag such that software
+centers will know to manage it using systemd. The following syntax will be supported:
+
+A `type="systemd"` attribute. This tells the software center that it should treat the bundle tag
+as described in this document.
+
+A `class=""` attribute, with the following possible values: `sysupdate`, `extension`, `confext`,
+or `portable`. These correspond to sysupdate components, sysexts, confexts, and portable services
+respectively.
+
+The value of the tag will be used as the name of the image (corresponding to the `class=` attribute).
+So for instance, `<bundle type="systemd" class="extension">foobar</bundle>` corresponds to a sysext
+named "foobar". For `class="sysupdate"`, there is a special case: if the value is empty, then the
+bundle actually refers to the host system.
+
+## Examples
+
+```xml
+<component type="addon">
+ <id>com.example.Devel</id>
+ <extends>com.example.OS</extends>
+ <name>Development Tools</name>
+ <summary>Tools essential to develop Example OS</summary>
+ <provides>
+ <binary>gcc</binary>
+ <binary>g++</binary>
+ <binary>make</binary>
+ <binary>autoconf</binary>
+ <binary>cmake</binary>
+ <binary>meson</binary>
+ <binary>ninja</binary>
+ </provides>
+ <developer_name>Example, inc.</developer_name>
+ <releases>
+ <release version="45" date="2024-01-15" />
+ <release version="44" date="2023-12-08" />
+ <release version="43" date="2023-11-10" />
+ </releases>
+ <bundle type="systemd" class="extension">devel</bundle>
+</component>
+```
+
+defines a sysext named `devel` to be presented by the software center. It will be
+updated via `systemd-sysupdated`'s `extension:devel` target. It will be treated
+as a plugin for the operating system itself.
+
+```xml
+<component merge="append">
+ <id>com.example.OS</id>
+ <releases>
+ <release version="45" date="2024-01-15" urgency="high">
+ <description>
+ <p>This release includes various bug fixes and performance improvements</p>
+ </description>
+ </release>
+ </releases>
+ <bundle type="systemd" class="sysupdate" />
+</component>
+```
+
+extends existing appstream metadata for the host OS with a changelog. It also tells the software
+center that the host OS should be updated using the `host` target for `systemd-sysupdated`.
+
+```xml
+<component type="service">
+ <id>com.example.Foobar</id>
+ <name>Foobar Service</name>
+ <summary>Service that does foo to bar</summary>
+ <icon type="remote">https://example.com/products/foobar/logo.svg</icon>

+ </release>
+ </releases>
+ <bundle type="systemd" class="portable">foobar</bundle>
+</component>
+```
+
+defines a portable service named `foobar` to be presented by the software center. It will be
+updated via `systemd-sysupdated`'s `portable:foobar` target. It will be marked as an
+urgent update. It will be presented to the user with a display name, a description, and
+a custom icon.
