플랫팩 빌더(Flatpak Builder)

flatpak-builder has already been introduced in 첫번째 플랫팩 응용프로그램 빌드 and Building Introduction. It is packaged by most of the popular distributions and there is also a flatpak-builder Flatpak package on Flathub (this may contain Flathub specific downstream modifications).

This page provides additional details on how to use flatpak-builder, including the various command options that are available.

내보내기(exporting)

flatpak-builder provides two options for exporting an application in order to run it. The first is to export to a repository, from which the application can be run. The second is to automatically install locally.

저장소로 내보내기

The --repo option allows a repository to be specified, for the application to be exported to. This takes the format:

$ flatpak-builder --repo=<repo> <build-dir> <manifest>

Here, <repo> is a path to a repository. If no repository exists at the specified location, the repository will be created. If the application is already in the specified repository, flatpak-builder will add the build as a new version of the existing application.

You can put more than one application in the same repository by using the same --repo path for multiple invocations of flatpak-builder.

참고

By default, flatpak-builder splits off translations and debug information into separate .Locale and .Debug extensions. These extensions are automatically exported into a repository along with the application.

빌드 결과물의 직접 설치

Instead of exporting to a repository, the Flatpak that is produced by flatpak-builder can be automatically installed locally, using the --install option:

$ flatpak-builder --install <build-dir> <manifest>

This approach has the advantage of skipping the separate install step that is needed when exporting to a repository.

서명

플랫팩 저장소로 커밋(commit)한 내역들은 GPG 서명되어야 한다. 저장소를 생성 및 변경 하는 데에 플랫팩 빌더를 사용할 경우, 서명을 위해 매개변수로 GPG 키를 넘겨준다. 이 때, 다음과 같이 —gpg-sign 옵션을 사용한다:

$ flatpak-builder --gpg-sign=<key> --repo=<repository> <manifest>

Here, <key> is the ID of the GPG key that is to be used. The --gpg-homedir option can also be used to specify the home directory of the key that is being used.

일반적으로 추천하는 사항은 아니지만, 저장소를 추가할 때 —no-gpg-verify 옵션을 사용하면 GPG 검증을 건너뛰는 것도 가능하다. 단, GPG 검증을 활성화 하지 않은 저장소를 업데이트할 때에는 관리자 계정(root)을 필요로 하게 된다는 점을 유의하자.
