FLATPAK-BUILD-IMPORT-BUNDLE(1)

💖 FLATPAK-BUILD-IMPORT-BUNDLE 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about flatpak build-import-bundle — it's a page from the flatpak manual and it's honestly such a useful lil guy 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

flatpak-build-import-bundle — Import a file bundle into a local repository 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

flatpak build-import-bundle [OPTION...] LOCATION FILENAME

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way this works is: you have a bundle sitting in a file named FILENAME, and this command imports it straight into the repository living at LOCATION. slay. done. 🎀

and the bundle file you're feeding it? it's gotta be in the format that build-bundle spits out. that's the format. no substitutions, no off-brand versions, periodt ✨

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's everything this command understands, one by one, no gatekeeping:

• -h, --help — shows you the help options and then dips. classic. exit stage left 💅
• -v, --verbose — prints debug info while the command is doing its thing, so you can watch it work like it's a livestream 🔥
• --ostree-verbose — same energy as above but specifically for OSTree debug info during command processing. deep lore 🦋
• --ref=REF — overrides the ref that's specified in the bundle. you're the main character here, you decide 💖
• --oci — imports an OCI image instead of a Flatpak bundle. different flavor, same slay 🌈
• --update-appstream — updates the appstream branch after the build. keep it fresh, keep it cute ✨
• --no-update-summary — ok so this one does NOT update the summary file after the new commit gets added. which means — and I need you to hear me on this — the repository will not be useful for serving over http until build-update-repo has been run. that's the tradeoff, no cap. it IS useful if you wanna do a whole bunch of repo operations before finally updating the summary at the end. batch it, bestie 🧚
• --gpg-sign=KEYID — signs the commit with this GPG key. and yes you can use this option multiple times. stack 'em 👑
• --gpg-homedir=PATH — the GPG homedir to use when it goes looking for keyrings. tell it where the keys live 🏠

⚠️ quick reminder bestie: the bundle file must be the format generated by build-bundle. don't come at it with anything else, it will not eat that 🙈
