As discussed in #4848, this disables fuzzy matching when the string given has a period in it. So for example "flatpak install org.mozilla" would not offer "org.mozilla.firefox" even though the string given is a substring of the app ID. This is desirable because it helps ensure fuzzy matching is only used when the user intended to use it. As with the previous commit that fixed #4829, this does technically break backwards compatibility, but only in an interface intended for interactive use by a human, not an interface that's used programmatically, so it seems okay.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Uninstalls an application or runtime. <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is a reference to the
|
|
application or runtime to uninstall.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> argument is a full or partial identifier in the
|
|
flatpak ref format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements
|
|
except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes,
|
|
so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be matched
|
|
against what is installed, and if there are multiple matches you will be prompted
|
|
to choose between them. You will also be prompted if <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>
|
|
doesn't match any installed ref exactly but is similar (e.g. "gedit" is similar to
|
|
"org.gnome.gedit"), but this fuzzy matching behavior is disabled if
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg> contains any slashes or periods.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default this looks for both installed apps and runtimes with the given
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg>, but you can limit this by using the <option>--app</option>
|
|
or <option>--runtime</option> option, or by supplying the initial element in the <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Normally, this command removes the ref for this application/runtime from the
|
|
local OSTree repository and purges any objects that are no longer
|
|
needed to free up disk space. If the same application is later
|
|
reinstalled, the objects will be pulled from the remote repository
|
|
again. The <option>--keep-ref</option> option can be used to prevent this.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When <option>--delete-data</option> is specified while removing an app, its
|
|
data directory in <filename>~/.var/app</filename> and any permissions it might
|
|
have are removed. When <option>--delete-data</option> is used without a
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg>, all 'unowned' app data is removed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Unless overridden with the <option>--system</option>, <option>--user</option>, or <option>--installation</option>
|
|
options, this command searches both the system-wide installation
|
|
and the per-user one for <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> and errors
|
|
out if it exists in more than one.
