Bug Description
Impact
======
Flatpak 0.8 is a new LTS release of the alternative package set.
https:/
This update includes these components for 16.04 LTS and 16.10:
- flatpak 0.8.2
- ostree 2016.15
This basically matches the set that is also available in Debian's upcoming new stable release. All of these source packages are new to 16.04 LTS.
Test Case
=========
1. Install an app with the old syntax (before upgrading flatpak and ostree)
sudo apt install flatpak
wget https:/
flatpak remote-add --user --gpg-import=
flatpak --user install gnome org.gnome.Platform 3.22
flatpak --user remote-add --gpg-import=
flatpak --user install gnome-apps org.gnome.iagno
Note that you may need to logout and log back in after installing your first Flatpak app before the app shows up in the Activities Overview.
After upgrading flapak and ostree, check whether the Iagno app is still installed.
2. Install an app with the new syntax
flatpak remote-add --from gnome https:/
flatpak remote-add --from gnome-apps https:/
flatpak --user install gnome-apps org.gnome.Devhelp
flatpak run org.gnome.Devhelp (or click the launcher like any other app)
The test case for ostree is just making sure flatpak works.
Regression Potential
=======
There's no regression for Ubuntu 16.04 since these are new packages there that should have no affect on other packages.
For 16.10, this has an inherent regression. The command-line syntax changed in flatpak 0.6.13. However, since virtually all of the guides to using Flatpak including http://
Other Info
==========
Just like snap was backported to 14.04 LTS to -updates, this is being backported to 16.04 LTS -updates. Both snap and Flatpak are useful for people who want to run new apps on an LTS operating system.
Flatpak is not easily backportable to 14.04 LTS.
bubblewrap is required for this SRU and is being tracked in LP: #1649330
A separate SRU may be filed later to update xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-
