I just pushed the changes to git master to rename everything "flatpak".
This means the binary is now named "flatpak".
The following should keep working:
* Anything installed with --user (we migrate ~/.local/share/xdg-app to
~/.local/share/flatpak). You can't go back though, the migration
is one-shot.
* Existing repositories. Nothing changed wrt the repository format.
However, the following is not compatible:
* System installed apps/runtimes (/app
* Bundle format (changed magic cookie)
* binary changed name (xdg-app => flatpak,
xdg-app-builder => flatpak-builder)
* flatpak-builder uses a subdirectory named
".flatpack-builder", not ".xdg-app-builder".
* The bus name and interface name for the permission
store is changed, it was in org.freedesktop.XdgApp, but is
now in org.freedesktop.impl.portal.DesktopPortal.
Further is a list of things that has to be changed to sync with the
name change:
* mailing list name
* bugzilla component
* git repo
* tarball release location
* Fix up gnome-shell to use the new dbus name for the permission store
* Update shared-mime-info for new bundle format
* Update the runtimes/apps git repos so we build with the new commands
instead of the old ones.
