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

--gpg-import=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
