This is a major change in the OCI support, as the format of the OCI image
registries changed. Instead of now having a "ref" file for each image
in the repo it has a single index json file, where the ref name is now
a per-image annotation.
This allows us to support OCI much better, as we can now use the actual
flatpak ref as the OCI ref name, and we can find all the flatpak refs
in a remote.
So, with this you can just use:
flatpak remote-add --oci remote-name URL
and then you can use the regular flatpak operations on the remote.
We recreate the OstreeRepo object in order to flush out any configuration
changes done via the system helper, so that changing the configuration works.
Should fix https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/413.
We juse use g_file_new_for_commandline_arg instead of g_file_new_for_path.
This is somewhat related to https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/401
but doesn't actually handle the specific case of tilde.
The g_key_file_load_from_bytes() function was added in GLib 2.50, and that
is too high as flatpak wants to support centos7/rhel7, which is now in 2.42.
If this is set for a remote we will never automatically look for
dependencies in it. This makes dependency search faster, as we
don't need to search in app-only remotes.
This new command relies on flatpak_dir_update_remote_configuration()
and allows updating the local configuration for the remotes based on
the extra metadata present in the OSTree repo's summary file.
This parameter can still be combined with --title and --default-branch,
which take precedence when combined with --update.
Just like we do with the title, fetch the default-branch from the
repository's summary file and use that information when adding a
remote reference from the command line.
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/221
We can't fetch the extra metadata from a repository's summary file before
having added it locally, since ostree_repo_remote_fetch_summary() will
fetch data by remote's name, and for that it needs to be added first.
For now this is a purely client side setting which lets you store
the default branch to use for a remote. This is mostly meant to
be used for UI tools, although the CLI could also be made to use this.
You can set this manually in the CLI with --default-branch, or via a
flatpakrepo file (new key DefaultBranch).
This allows you to have a single file that describes a repo.
It also allows a mimetype handle for it so that you can easily
install it via a single click.
