Flatpak remotes
SUMMARY
Several command line switches for the 'flatpak remote-add' command are used to
expose information about a repository in a GUI. Discover does not show these.
Below is copy/pasted from the command 'man flatpak remote-add';
--title=TITLE
A title for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--comment=COMMENT
A single-line comment for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--description=DESCRIPTION
A full-paragraph description for the remote, e.g. for display in a
UI.
--homepage=URL
URL for a website for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--icon=URL
URL for an icon for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.
--default-branch=BRANCH
A default branch for the remote, mainly for use in a UI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Added two testing repositories.
A user repo called "test";
flatpak remote-add --user --title="The title" --comment="The comment"
--description="The description" --homepage="Homepage URL" --icon="Icon URL"
--default-branch="The default branch" test
https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Added a system repo called "testsystem";
flatpak remote-add --title="The title" --comment="The comment"
--description="The description" --homepage="Homepage URL" --icon="Icon URL"
--default-branch="The default branch" testsystem
https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
2. Make sure "test" is the highest priority user repo and also make sure that
"testsystem" is the highest priority system repo with;
flatpak remote-modify --prio=PRIORITY REPONAME
Or disabled unused repositories to avoid confusion with;
flatpak remote-modify --disable REPONAME
3. Verify that flatpak has recognised the command line switches when adding the
repositories with the command;
flatpak remotes-d
OBSERVED RESULT
'flatpak remotes -d' acknowledges the additional command line options. Upon
opening discover and going to settings menu, only the title and URL are exposed
in the GUI.
Even changing the --homepage= to its default --homepage="https://flathub.org/";
does nothing.
Same goes for the icon option. Changing from --icon= to its default
--icon="https://dl.flathub.org/repo/logo.svg"; also shows nothing in discovers'
GUI.
The repos in discover show nothing when you hover the mouse over them. Right
clicking does nothing. Tried, deleting .cache folder and rebooting, nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
The other options, i.e. comment, description etc should be shown in the
settings page to help identify and describe the repositories.
