xdg-app is a tool for managing applications and the runtimes
they use. In the xdg-app model, applications can be built and
distributed independently from the host system they are used
on, and they are isolated from the host system ('sandboxed')
to some degree, at runtime.
xdg-app can operate in system-wide or per-user mode. The system-wide
data (runtimes, applications and configuration) is located in
$prefix/share/xdg-app/, and the per-user
data is in $HOME/.local/share/xdg-app/.
Below these locations, there is a local repository in the
repo/ subdirectory and installed runtimes
and applications are in the corresponding runtime/
and app/ subdirectories.
xdg-app uses OSTree to distribute and deploy data. The repositories
it uses are OSTree repositories and can be manipulated with the
ostree utility. Installed runtimes and
applications are OSTree checkouts.
