FLATPAK BUILD-COMMI(1) flatpak build-commit-from FLATPAK BUILD-COMMI(1)
flatpak-build-commit-from - Create new commits based on existing
one (possibly from another repository)
flatpak build-commit-from [OPTION...] DST-REPO DST-REF...
Creates new commits on the DST-REF branch in the DST-REPO, with
the contents (and most of the metadata) taken from another branch,
either from another repo, or from another branch in the same
repository.
The collection ID set on DST-REPO (if set) will be used for the
newly created commits.
This command is very useful when you want to maintain a branch
with a clean history that has no unsigned or broken commits. For
instance, you can import the head from a different repository from
an automatic builder when you've verified that it worked. The new
commit will have no parents or signatures from the autobuilder,
and can be properly signed with the official key.
Any deltas that affect the original commit and that match parent
commits in the destination repository are copied and rewritten for
the new commit id.
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
--src-repo=SRC-REPO
The (local) repository to pull the source branch from.
Defaults to the destination repository.
--src-ref=SRC-REF
The branch to use as the source for the new commit. Defaults
to the same as the destination ref, which is useful only if a
different source repo has been specified.
--extra-collection-id=COLLECTION-ID
Add an extra collection-ref binding for this collection, in
addition to whatever would normally be added due to the
destination repository collection id. This option can be used
multiple times.
--subset=SUBSET
Mark the commit to be included in the named subset. This will
cause the commit to be put in the named subset summary (in
addition to the main one), allowing users to see only this
subset instead of the whole repo.
--untrusted
The source repostory is not trusted, all objects are copied
(not hardlinked) and all checksums are verified.
-s, --subject=SUBJECT
One line subject for the commit message. If not specified,
will be taken from the source commit.
-b, --body=BODY
Full description for the commit message. If not specified,
will be taken from the source commit.
--update-appstream
Update the appstream branch after the build.
--no-update-summary
Don't update the summary file after the new commit is added.
This means the repository will not be useful for serving over
http until build-update-repo has been run. This is useful is
you want to do multiple repo operations before finally
updating the summary.
--force
Create new commit even if the content didn't change from the
existing branch head.
--disable-fsync
Don't fsync when writing to the repository. This can result in
data loss in exceptional situations, but can improve
performance when working with temporary or test repositories.
--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
--end-of-life=REASON
Mark build as end-of-life
--end-of-life-rebase=OLDID=NEWID
Mark new refs as end-of-life. Unlike --end-of-life, this one
takes an ID that supersedes the current one. By the user's
request, the application data may be preserved for the new
application. Note, this is actually a prefix match, so if you
say org.the.app=org.new.app, then something like
org.the.app.Locale will be rebased to org.new.app.Locale.
--timestamp=TIMESTAMP
Override the timestamp of the commit. Use an ISO 8601
formatted date, or NOW for the current time
--disable-fsync
Don't fsync when writing to the repository. This can result in
data loss in exceptional situations, but can improve
performance when working with temporary or test repositories.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
To revert a commit to the commit before:
$ flatpak build-commit-from --timestamp=NOW
--src-ref=app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master^ repo
app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master
