The history command pulls the transaction log entries out of the journal, and presents them nicely. We use the sd-journal api for this, so we need to link against libsystemd now, but we make the dependency optional. If libsystemd is not available, the history command will simply print an error.

<title>Description</title>

|
|
<para>
|
|
flatpak is a tool for managing applications and the runtimes
|
|
they use. In the flatpak model, applications can be built and
|
|
distributed independently from the host system they are used
|
|
on, and they are isolated from the host system ('sandboxed')
|
|
to some degree, at runtime.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
flatpak can operate in system-wide or per-user mode. The system-wide
|
|
data (runtimes, applications and configuration) is located in
|
|
<filename>$prefix/var/lib/flatpak/</filename>, and the per-user
|
|
data is in <filename>$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/</filename>.
|
|
Below these locations, there is a local repository in the
|
|
<filename>repo/</filename> subdirectory and installed runtimes
|
|
and applications are in the corresponding <filename>runtime/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>app/</filename> subdirectories.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
System-wide remotes can be statically preconfigured by dropping
|
|
config fragments into <filename>/etc/flatpak/remotes.d/</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In addition to the system-wide installation in <filename>$prefix/var/lib/flatpak/</filename>,
|
|
which is always considered the default one unless overridden, more
|
|
system-wide installations can be defined via configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/flatpak/installations.d/</filename>, which must define
|
|
at least the id of the installation and the absolute path to it.
|
|
Other optional parameters like <arg choice="plain">DisplayName</arg>,
|
|
<arg choice="plain">Priority</arg> or <arg choice="plain">StorageType</arg>
|
|
are also supported.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
flatpak uses OSTree to distribute and deploy data. The repositories
|
|
it uses are OSTree repositories and can be manipulated with the
|
|
<command>ostree</command> utility. Installed runtimes and
|
|
applications are OSTree checkouts.
