FLATPAK BUILD-UPDAT(1) flatpak build-update-repo FLATPAK BUILD-UPDAT(1)

flatpak-build-update-repo - Create a repository from a build directory

flatpak build-update-repo [OPTION...] LOCATION

Updates repository metadata for the repository at LOCATION. This command generates an OSTree summary file that lists the contents of the repository. The summary is used by flatpak remote-ls and other commands to display the contents of remote repositories.

After this command, LOCATION can be used as the repository location for flatpak remote-add, either by exporting it over http, or directly with a file: url.

The following options are understood:

-h, --help

Show help options and exit.

--redirect-url=URL

Redirect this repo to a new URL.

--title=TITLE

A title for the repository, e.g. for display in a UI. The title is stored in the repository summary.

--comment=COMMENT

A single-line comment for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI. The comment is stored in the repository summary.

--description=DESCRIPTION

A full-paragraph description for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI. The description is stored in the repository summary.

--homepage=URL

URL for a website for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI. The url is stored in the repository summary.

--icon=URL

URL for an icon for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI. The url is stored in the repository summary.

--default-branch=BRANCH

A default branch for the repository, mainly for use in a UI.

--gpg-import=FILE

Import a new default GPG public key from the given file.

--collection-id=COLLECTION-ID

The globally unique identifier of the remote repository, to allow mirrors to be grouped. This must be set to a globally unique reverse DNS string if the repository is to be made publicly available. If a collection ID is already set on an existing repository, this will update it. If not specified, the existing collection ID will be left unchanged.

--deploy-collection-id

Deploy the collection ID (set using --collection-id) in the static remote configuration for all clients. This is irrevocable once published in a repository. Use it to decide when to roll out a collection ID to users of an existing repository. If constructing a new repository which has a collection ID, you should typically always pass this option.

--deploy-sideload-collection-id

This is similar to --deploy-collection-id, but it only applies the deploy to clients newer than flatpak 1.7 which supports the new form of sideloads.

--gpg-sign=KEYID

Sign the commit with this GPG key. This option can be used multiple times.

--gpg-homedir=PATH

GPG Homedir to use when looking for keyrings

--generate-static-deltas

Generate static deltas for all references. This generates from-empty and delta static files that allow for faster download.

--static-delta-jobs=NUM-JOBS

Limit the number of parallel jobs creating static deltas. The default is the number of cpus.

--static-delta-ignore-ref=PATTERN

Don't generate deltas for runtime or application id matching this pattern. For instance, --static-delta-ignore-ref=*.Sources means there will not be any deltas for source refs.

--prune

Remove unreferenced objects in repo.

--prune-depth

Only keep at most this number of old versions for any particular ref. Default is -1 which means infinite.

-v, --verbose

Print debug information during command processing.

--ostree-verbose

Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
