$ flatpak install --arch someArch --from some.flatpakref
Would completely ignore the arch argument and only install for the
default flatpak architecture. Since flatpakref files don't include
an arch field, there's no reason we can't attempt to install the
arch specified on the command line.
If EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR wasn't defined (which is likely, since nothing
in the build system does), then we would tell the system helper
to search /exports/share, which is not Flatpak's territory
(but is a semi-commonly-used path for site-specific NFS shares,
which might have contents that are inappropriate to search here).
Installations that do define an external installation directory
(Endless OS?) can easily override the Environment to include it
by placing a drop-in in
/etc/systemd/user/flatpak-system-helper.service.d/external.conf
or similar.
If the homedir is on a symlink (say /home -> /var/home) but the homedir
is in /home, then we shouldn't create a directory in /home because
then the symlink creation will fail. Instead we move the homedir
creation to the end, where we will create it in the symlink if needed.
This should fix https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/493
If you are exposing a symlink, say /link (-> /target) and
also a child of it, say /link/child, then we run into dependency
issues. For instance, the /link symlink is created, pointing to /target,
but then we try to to create /link/child before the /target
bind mount is setup, which will fail.
We work around this by adding a level, and the dependency of a symlink
(/target in the above case) will always be handled first. This isn't
a perfect solution, but is likely to be good enough in practice.
This change fixes GCC compiler warnings where a cleanup function was
specified on an uninitialised pointer, which in the view of GCC could
result in an errornous free of uninitialised memory, if the functions
that initialise them do not return NULL.

Typically Linux distributions employ /etc/profile.d for system wide
environment manipulation prior to multi-user initialisation. Modern
distribution efforts split the vendor configuration from the local
sysadmin configuration and data, by not using the /etc/ directories,
for example.
To enable this stateless pattern, this change adds a new --with-profile-dir
option to use an alternative location, such as within /usr/share/. This
ensures that the data (not configuration) is owned through the update
process, and does not conflict with changes made locally to the system,
enforcing domains of ownership.
To preserve backwards compatible behaviour, the default directory remains
set to /etc/profile.d.

Newer versions of dbus support stateless directories, and many distributions
now use /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d for the vendor configuration files, as
opposed to the legacy /etc/dbus-1/system.d directory.
To enable this, we add a new --with-dbus-config-dir option to control the
configuration directory, whilst retaining backwards compatibility for those
still using older versions of dbus.

Not being documented makes it hard to know that this actually
takes the url of a flatpakrepo file, as opposed to the other url
key in this file, which takes the url to a remote.
Apps may rely on /var/tmp not being in ram, for instance when
downloading large files. See for instance:
http://0pointer.net/blog/projects/tmp.html
We make /var/tmp point to ~/.var/app/cache/tmp so that each app get
its own instane, and so that its cleared whe removing xdg-cache-dir
for the app.
The main loop that is initiated while the extra data is being downloaded
needs a different context to be the thread-default one, otherwise the
operations just hang when running from a different thread.
This makes the ostree trivial-httpd --autoexit feature work better,
because it seems to exit whenever the root directory changes (i.e. not
only when its deleted).
This means the root dir can't be the repo (because then we can't
update the repo), or the base testdir (because we create files there
too), so instead we make the repo $testdir/repos/test and
$testdir/repos as the httpd root.
