flatpak-0.10.2.tar.xz

This is the start of a long term support 0.10.x branch. After this all
main development will happen on master with backports to the branch of
bugfixes only.

Major changes in 0.10.2
=======================

 * Flatpak now requires OSTree 2017.14
 * flatpak update now updates from both system and user installations
   by default.
 * flatpak update is less noisy when updating appstream info.
 * All the remote-* commands now by default automatically decide to use
   --user or --system based on the given remote name.
 * flatpak remote-ls with no remote lists the content of all remotes
 * Fixed regression that made xdg-user-dirs and theme selection
   for kde apps break.
 * flatpak override with no argument now overrides globally, i.e. for
   all apps.
 * flatpak override now supports --nofilesystem properly. For example
   flatpak override --nofilesystem=~/.ssh hides the ssh dir for all
   apps, even those who have homedir access.
 * flatpak install now takes a --reinstall argument which uninstalls
   a previously installed version if necessary. This is very useful
   when you want to install a new version from a different source.
 * flatpak install now allows you to pass an absolute pathname as
   remote name, which will create a temporary remote and install
   from that. The remote will be removed when the app is uninstalled.
   This is very useful during development and testing.
 * Flatpak now creates CLI wrappers for all installed apps, so if you
   add /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin or ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin
   to your PATH you can easily  start flatpak apps by their application id.
