6 flatpak-build-commit-from - Create new commits based on existing one
7 (possibly from another repository)
8
10 flatpak build-commit-from [OPTION...] DST-REPO DST-REF...
11
13 Creates new commits on the DST-REF branch in the DST-REPO, with the
14 contents (and most of the metadata) taken from another branch, either
15 from another repo, or from another branch in the same repository.
16
17 The collection ID set on DST-REPO (if set) will be used for the newly
18 created commits.
19
20 This command is very useful when you want to maintain a branch with a
21 clean history that has no unsigned or broken commits. For instance, you
22 can import the head from a different repository from an automatic
23 builder when you've verified that it worked. The new commit will have
24 no parents or signatures from the autobuilder, and can be properly
25 signed with the official key.
26
27 Any deltas that affect the original commit and that match parent
28 commits in the destination repository are copied and rewritten for the
29 new commit id.
30
32 The following options are understood:
33
34 -h, --help
35 Show help options and exit.
36
37 --src-repo=SRC-REPO
38 The (local) repository to pull the source branch from. Defaults to
39 the destination repository.
40
41 --src-ref=SRC-REF
42 The branch to use as the source for the new commit. Defaults to the
43 same as the destination ref, which is useful only if a different
44 source repo has been specified.
45
46 --extra-collection-id=COLLECTION-ID
47 Add an extra collection-ref binding for this collection, in
48 addition to whatever would normally be added due to the destination
49 repository collection id. This option can be used multiple times.
50
51 --subset=SUBSET
52 Mark the commit to be included in the named subset. This will cause
53 the commit to be put in the named subset summary (in addition to
54 the main one), allowing users to see only this subset instead of
55 the whole repo.
56
57 --untrusted
58 The source repostory is not trusted, all objects are copied (not
59 hardlinked) and all checksums are verified.
60
61 -s, --subject=SUBJECT
62 One line subject for the commit message. If not specified, will be
63 taken from the source commit.
64
65 -b, --body=BODY
66 Full description for the commit message. If not specified, will be
67 taken from the source commit.
68
69 --update-appstream
70 Update the appstream branch after the build.
71
72 --no-update-summary
73 Don't update the summary file after the new commit is added. This
74 means the repository will not be useful for serving over http until
75 build-update-repo has been run. This is useful is you want to do
76 multiple repo operations before finally updating the summary.
77
78 --force
79 Create new commit even if the content didn't change from the
80 existing branch head.
81
82 --disable-fsync
83 Don't fsync when writing to the repository. This can result in data
84 loss in exceptional situations, but can improve performance when
85 working with temporary or test repositories.
86
87 --gpg-sign=KEYID
88 Sign the commit with this GPG key. This option can be used multiple
89 times.
90
91 --gpg-homedir=PATH
92 GPG Homedir to use when looking for keyrings
93
94 --end-of-life=REASON
95 Mark build as end-of-life
96
97 --end-of-life-rebase=OLDID=NEWID
98 Mark new refs as end-of-life. Unlike --end-of-life, this one takes
99 an ID that supersedes the current one. By the user's request, the
100 application data may be preserved for the new application. Note,
101 this is actually a prefix match, so if you say
102 org.the.app=org.new.app, then something like org.the.app.Locale
103 will be rebased to org.new.app.Locale.
104
105 --timestamp=TIMESTAMP
106 Override the timestamp of the commit. Use an ISO 8601 formatted
107 date, or NOW for the current time
108
109 --disable-fsync
110 Don't fsync when writing to the repository. This can result in data
111 loss in exceptional situations, but can improve performance when
112 working with temporary or test repositories.
113
114 -v, --verbose
115 Print debug information during command processing.
116
117 --ostree-verbose
118 Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
119
121 To revert a commit to the commit before:
122
123 $ flatpak build-commit-from --timestamp=NOW
124 --src-ref=app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master^ repo
125 app/org.gnome.gedit/x86_64/master
