Alexander Larsson 39946c3959 Support .flatpakrepo files in /etc/flatpak/remotes.d
A *.flatpakrepo file in this directory will be automatically
added as a system remote with the basename (sans extension) as the
name unless that name already exist. Also, once this is done we
record the name in the repo config so that it is not applied again if
the remote is removed.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Flatpak stores information about configured remotes for an installation location in
<filename>$installation/repo/config</filename>. For example, the remotes for the
default system-wide installation are in
<filename>$prefix/var/lib/flatpak/repo/config</filename>, and the remotes for the
per-user installation are in <filename>$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/repo/config</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Normally, it is not necessary to edit remote config files directly, the
<command>flatpak remote-modify</command> command should be used to change properties of remotes.
</para>
<para>
System-wide remotes can be statically preconfigured by dropping
flatpakref files into <filename>/etc/flatpak/remotes.d/</filename>.
</para>

<title>File format</title>
<para>
The remote config file format is using the same .ini file format that is used for systemd
unit files or application .desktop files.
</para>

<title>[remote …]</title>
<para>
All the configuration for the the remote with name NAME is contained in the
[remote "NAME"] group.

<para>
The following keys are recognized by OSTree, among others:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>url</option> (string)</term>
<listitem><para>
The url for the remote. An URL of the form oci+https:// or oci+http://
is a Flatpak extension that indicates that the remote is not an ostree
repository, but is rather an URL to an index of OCI images that are stored
within a container image registry.
