This git repository holds the modulemd file and associated container files for the Fedora Flatpak runtimes. It also holds scripts and data files used to maintain and update the Fedora Flatpak runtimes.
Prequisites: you need to have the following "upstream" runtimes installed:
org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/18.08
org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/18.08
org.gnome.platform/x86_64/3.32
org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64/3.32
You also need python3-jinja2
and possibly a few other Python
packages installed.
And finally, you'll need to have fedmod installed.
You should run fedmod fetch-metadata
initially and whenever you want to download
a fresh set of metadata from Fedora. fedmod
never updates metadata on its own.
How it works: The files in the upstream runtimes are the primary source for the contents
of the corresponding Fedora runtimes. When you type make update
, the
steps are as follows:
tools/list-files.py
)tools/resolve-files.py
)fedmod resolve-deps
,
correlate it all together, figure out the install profiles for each runtime,
and create report/runtime.html
. (tools/generate-runtime-report.py
)flatpak-runtime.new.yaml
using the profiles. (tools/generate-modulemd.py
)tools/download-fedora-appstream.sh
, tools/download-flathub-appstream.sh
,
tools/download-reviews.py
)reports/
. (tools/generate-app-reports.py
). (Improvement would be to use
the candidate next build - requires us to pass the runtime data to fedmod rather
than have fedmod download it from Koji.)flatpak-runtime.new.yaml
to flatpak-runtime.yaml
Report generation: if you type make report
instead then all the above happens
except the last step.
The main way to tweak the result is to edit and extend the data embedded in
tools/resolve-files.py
. Make sure you add comments explaining why you are
excluding files, and feed back exclusions to the upstream runtime maintainers
as appropriate.
To aid in keeping track of the status of all the packages in
report.html
, notes and "flags" are read from package-notes.txt. The
notes are added to report.html
and the flags affect formatting. The
top of that file has a comment describing the simple format.
