flatpak-build-finish(1)

NAME

   flatpak-build-finish - Finalize a build directory

SYNOPSIS

   flatpak build-finish [OPTION...] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

   Finalizes a build directory, to prepare it for exporting.  DIRECTORY is
   the name of the directory.

   The result of this command is that desktop files, icons and D-Bus
   service files from the files subdirectory are copied to a new export
   subdirectory. In the metadata file, the command key is set in the
   [Application] group, and the supported keys in the [Environment] group
   are set according to the options.

   You should review the exported files and the application metadata
   before creating and distributing an application bundle.

   It is an error to run build-finish on a directory that has not been
   initialized as a build directory, or has already been finalized.

OPTIONS

   The following options are understood:

   -h, --help
       Show help options and exit.

   --command=COMMAND
       The command to use. If this option is not specified, the first
       executable found in files/bin is used.

   --require-version=MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO
       Require this version of later of flatpak to install/update to this
       build.

   --share=SUBSYSTEM
       Share a subsystem with the host session. This updates the [Context]
       group in the metadata. SUBSYSTEM must be one of: network, ipc. This
       option can be used multiple times.

   --unshare=SUBSYSTEM
       Don't share a subsystem with the host session. This updates the
       [Context] group in the metadata. SUBSYSTEM must be one of: network,
       ipc. This option can be used multiple times.

   --socket=SOCKET
       Expose a well known socket to the application. This updates the
       [Context] group in the metadata. SOCKET must be one of: x11,
       wayland, pulseaudio, system-bus, session-bus. This option can be
       used multiple times.

   --nosocket=SOCKET
       Don't expose a well known socket to the application. This updates
       the [Context] group in the metadata. SOCKET must be one of: x11,
       wayland, pulseaudio, system-bus, session-bus. This option can be
       used multiple times.

   --device=DEVICE
       Expose a device to the application. This updates the [Context]
       group in the metadata. DEVICE must be one of: dri, kvm, all. This
       option can be used multiple times.

   --nodevice=DEVICE
       Don't expose a device to the application. This updates the
       [Context] group in the metadata. DEVICE must be one of: dri, kvm,
       all. This option can be used multiple times.

   --allow=FEATURE
       Allow access to a specific feature. This updates the [Context]
       group in the metadata. FEATURE must be one of: devel, multiarch.
       This option can be used multiple times.

       The devel feature allows the application to access certain syscalls
       such as ptrace(), and perf_event_open().

       The multiarch feature allows the application to execute programs
       compiled for an ABI other than the one supported natively by the
       system. For example, for the x86_64 architecture, 32-bit x86
       binaries will be allowed as well.

   --disallow=FEATURE
       Disallow access to a specific feature. This updates the [Context]
       group in the metadata. FEATURE must be one of: devel, multiarch.
       This option can be used multiple times.

   --filesystem=FS
       Allow the application access to a subset of the filesystem. This
       updates the [Context] group in the metadata. FS can be one of:
       home, host, xdg-desktop, xdg-documents, xdg-download xdg-music,
       xdg-pictures, xdg-public-share, xdg-templates, xdg-videos, xdg-run,
       xdg-config, xdg-cache, xdg-data, an absolute path, or a
       homedir-relative path like ~/dir or paths relative to the xdg dirs,
       like xdg-download/subdir. The optional :ro suffix indicates that
       the location will be read-only. The optional :create suffix
       indicates that the location will be read-write and created if it
       doesn't exist. This option can be used multiple times.

   --env=VAR=VALUE
       Set an environment variable in the application. This updates the
       [Environment] group in the metadata. This overrides to the Context
       section from the application metadata. This option can be used
       multiple times.

   --own-name=NAME
       Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the
       session bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application to own
       all matching names. This updates the [Session Bus Policy] group in
       the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

   --talk-name=NAME
       Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on the
       session bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application to
       talk to all matching names. This updates the [Session Bus Policy]
       group in the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

   --system-own-name=NAME
       Allow the application to own the well known name NAME on the system
       bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application to own all
       matching names. This updates the [System Bus Policy] group in the
       metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

   --system-talk-name=NAME
       Allow the application to talk to the well known name NAME on the
       system bus. If NAME ends with .*, it allows the application to talk
       to all matching names. This updates the [System Bus Policy] group
       in the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

   --persist=FILENAME
       If the application doesn't have access to the real homedir, make
       the (homedir-relative) path FILENAME a bind mount to the
       corresponding path in the per-application directory, allowing that
       location to be used for persistent data. This updates the [Context]
       group in the metadata. This option can be used multiple times.

   --extra-data=NAME:SHA256:DOWNLOAD-SIZE:INSTALL-SIZE:URL
       Adds information about extra data uris to the app. These will be
       downloaded and verified by the client when the app is installed and
       placed in the /app/extra directory. You can also supply an
       /app/bin/apply_extra script that will be run after the files are
       downloaded.

   --no-exports
       Don't look for exports in the build.

   -v, --verbose
       Print debug information during command processing.

   --ostree-verbose
       Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

   --version
