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.
