Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are pinned.
A pinned ref will never be automatically uninstalled (as are unused
runtimes periodically). This can be useful if for example you are using
a runtime for development purposes.
Runtimes that are explicitly installed, rather than installed as a
dependency of something else, are automatically pinned.
The patterns are just a partial ref, with the * character matching anything
within that part of the ref. Only runtimes can be pinned, not apps. Here
are some example patterns:
org.some.Runtime
org.some.Runtime//unstable
runtime/org.domain.*
org.some.Runtime/arm
To list the current set of pins, run this command without any patterns.
OptionsThe following options are understood:
Show help options and exit.
Instead of adding the patterns, remove matching patterns.
Pin refs in a per-user installation.
Pin refs in the default system-wide installation.
Pin refs in a system-wide installation
specified by NAME among those defined in
/etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
is equivalent to using
.
Print debug information during command processing.
