SYNOPSIS
- flatpak build-export [OPTION...] LOCATION DIRECTORY [BRANCH]
DESCRIPTION
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 repo-update 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.
--include=PATTERN
- Don't exclude files matching PATTERN from the commit, even if they match the --export patterns.
--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.
--gpg-sign=KEYID
- Sign the commit with this GPG key
--gpg-homedir=PATH
- GPG Homedir to use when looking for keyrings
--runtime
- Export a runtime instead for an app (this uses the usr subdir as files).
-v, --verbose
- Print debug information during command processing.
--version
- Print version information and exit.
