FLATPAK BUILD−EXPOR

NAME

flatpak-build-export − Create a repository from a build directory

SYNOPSIS

flatpak build−export [OPTION...] LOCATION DIRECTORY [BRANCH]

DESCRIPTION

Creates or updates a repository with an application build. LOCATION is the location of the repository. DIRECTORY must be a finalized build directory. If BRANCH is not specified, it is assumed to be "master".

If LOCATION exists, it is assumed to be an OSTree repository, otherwise a new OSTree repository is created at this location. The repository can be inspected with the ostree tool.

The contents of DIRECTORY are committed on the branch with name app/APPNAME/ARCH/BRANCH, where ARCH is the architecture of the runtime that the application is using. A commit filter is used to enforce that only the contents of the files/ and export/ subdirectories and the metadata file are included in the commit, anything else is ignored.

The build−update−repo command should be used to update repository metadata whenever application builds are added to a repository.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

−h, −−help

Show help options and exit.

−s, −−subject=SUBJECT

One line subject for the commit message.

−b, −−body=BODY

Full description for the commit message.

−−arch=ARCH

Specify the architecture component of the branch to export. Only host compatible architectures can be specified.

−−exclude=PATTERN

Exclude files matching PATTERN from the commit. This option can be used multiple times.

−−include=PATTERN

Don't exclude files matching PATTERN from the commit, even if they match the −−export patterns. This option can be used multiple times.

−−metadata=FILENAME

Use the specified filename as metadata in the exported app instead of the default file (called metadata). This is useful if you want to commit multiple things from a single build tree, typically used in combination with −−files and −−exclude.

−−files=SUBDIR

Use the files in the specified subdirectory as the file contents, rather than the regular files directory.

−−update−appstream

Run appstream−builder and to update the appstream branch after 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−repo−update has been run. This is useful is you want to do multiple repo operations before finally updating the summary.

−−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

−r, −−runtime

Export a runtime instead for an app (this uses the usr subdir as files).

−v, −−verbose

Print debug information during command processing.

−−ostree−verbose

Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

−−version

Print version information and exit.
