`flatpak build-update-repo` OPTION LOCATION

## Description

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.

## Options

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`

  A default branch for the repository, mainly for use in a UI.

`--gpg-import=FILE`

  Import a new default GPG public key from the given 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`

  Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
