Synopsis ¶

Allows users to add or remove flatpak remotes.
The flatpak remotes concept is comparable to what is called repositories in other packaging formats.
Currently, remote addition is only supported via flatpakrepo file URLs.
Existing remotes will not be updated.
See the flatpak module for managing flatpaks.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
