## Description

FlatpakTransaction is an object representing an install/update/uninstall transaction. You create an object like this using `flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation()` and then you add all the operations (installs, updates, etc) you wish to do. Then you start the transaction with `flatpak_transaction_run()` which will resolve all kinds of dependencies and report progress and status while downloading and installing these.

The dependency resolution that is the first step of executing a transaction can be influenced by `flatpak_transaction_set_disable_dependencies()`, `flatpak_transaction_set_disable_related()`, `flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source()` and `flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources()`.

The underlying operations that get orchestrated by a FlatpakTransaction are: pulling new data from remote repositories, deploying newer applications or runtimes and pruning old deployments. Which of these operations are carried out can be controlled with `flatpak_transaction_set_no_pull()`, `flatpak_transaction_set_no_deploy()` and `flatpak_transaction_set_disable_prune()`.

A transaction is a blocking operation, and all signals are emitted in the same thread. This means you should either handle the signals directly (say, by doing blocking console interaction, or by just returning without interaction), or run the operation in a separate thread and do your own forwarding to the GUI thread.

Despite the name, a FlatpakTransaction is more like a batch operation than a transaction in the database sense. Individual operations are carried out sequentially, and are atomic. They become visible to the system as they are completed. When an error occurs, already completed operations are not rolled back.

For each operation that is executed during a transaction, you first get a “new-operation” signal, followed by either a “operation-done” or “operation-error”.

The FlatpakTransaction API is threadsafe in the sense that it is safe to run two transactions at the same time, in different threads (or processes).

Note: Transactions (or any other install/update operation) to a system installation rely on the ability to create files that are readable by other users. Some users set a umask that prohibits this. Unfortunately there is no good way to work around this in a threadsafe, local way, so such setups will break by default. The flatpak commandline app works around this by calling umask(022) in the early setup, and it is recommended that other apps using libflatpak do this too.

### flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation ()

    FlatpakTransaction *
    flatpak_transaction_new_for_installation
                                   (FlatpakInstallation *installation,

                                    GError **error);

Creates a new FlatpakTransaction object that can be used to do installation and updates of multiple refs, as well as their dependencies, in a single operation. Set the options you want on the transaction and add the refs you want to install/update, then start the transaction with `flatpak_transaction_run()`.

#### Parameters

installation | a FlatpakInstallation |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

a FlatpakTransaction, or `NULL` on failure.

### flatpak_transaction_add_install ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_install (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                     const char *remote,

                                     GError **error);

Adds installing the given ref to this transaction.

The `remote` can either be a configured remote of the installation, or a file:// uri pointing at a local repository to install from, in which case an origin remote is created.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
remote | the name of the remote |
ref | the ref |
subpaths | subpaths to install, or the empty list or `NULL` to pull all subpaths. | [nullable][array zero-terminated=1]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

### flatpak_transaction_add_install_bundle ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_install_bundle
                                   (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    GFile *file,
                                    GBytes *gpg_data,

Adds installing the given bundle to this transaction.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
file | a GFile that is an flatpak bundle |
gpg_data | GPG key with which to check bundle signatures, or `NULL` to use the key embedded in the bundle (if any). | [nullable]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

### flatpak_transaction_add_install_flatpakref ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_install_flatpakref
                                   (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    GBytes *flatpakref_data,
                                    GError **error);

Adds installing the given flatpakref to this transaction.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
flatpakref_data | data from a flatpakref file |
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

### flatpak_transaction_add_rebase ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_rebase (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    const char *remote,
                                    const char *ref,
                                    const char **subpaths,
                                    const char **previous_ids,
                                    GError **error);

Adds updating the `previous_ids` of the given ref to this transaction, via either installing the `ref` if it was not already present or updating it. This will treat `ref` as the result of following an eol-rebase, and data migration from the refs in `previous_ids` will be set up.

If you want to rebase the ref and uninstall the old version of it, consider using `flatpak_transaction_add_rebase_and_uninstall()` instead. It will add appropriate dependencies between the rebase and uninstall operations.

See `flatpak_transaction_add_install()` for a description of `remote` .

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
remote | the name of the remote |
ref | the ref |
subpaths | the subpaths to include, or `NULL` to install the complete ref. | [nullable]
previous_ids | Previous ids to add to the given ref. These should simply be the ids, not the full ref names (e.g. org.foo.Bar, not org.foo.Bar/x86_64/master). | [nullable][array zero-terminated=1]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

Since: 1.3.3.

### flatpak_transaction_add_rebase_and_uninstall ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_rebase_and_uninstall
                                   (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    const char *remote,
                                    const char *new_ref,
                                    const char *old_ref,
                                    const char **subpaths,
                                    const char **previous_ids,
                                    GError **error);

Adds updating the `previous_ids` of the given `new_ref` to this transaction, via either installing the `new_ref` if it was not already present or updating it. This will treat `new_ref` as the result of following an eol-rebase, and data migration from the refs in `previous_ids` will be set up.

Also adds an operation to uninstall `old_ref` to this transaction. This operation will only be run if the operation to install/update `new_ref` succeeds.

If `old_ref` is not already installed (which can happen if requesting to install an EOLed app, rather than update one which is already installed), the uninstall operation will silently not be added, and this function will behave similarly to `flatpak_transaction_add_rebase()`.

See `flatpak_transaction_add_install()` for a description of `remote` .

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
remote | the name of the remote |
new_ref | the ref to rebase to |
old_ref | the ref to uninstall |
subpaths | the subpaths to include, or `NULL` to install the complete ref. | [nullable]
previous_ids | Previous ids to add to the given ref. These should simply be the ids, not the full ref names (e.g. org.foo.Bar, not org.foo.Bar/x86_64/master). | [nullable][array zero-terminated=1]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

Since: 1.15.4

### flatpak_transaction_add_update ()

    flatpak_transaction_add_update (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    const char *ref,
                                    const char **subpaths,
                                    const char *commit,
                                    GError **error);

Adds updating the given ref to this transaction.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
ref | the ref |
subpaths | subpaths to install; `NULL` to use the current set plus the set of configured languages, or `{ NULL }` or `{ "", NULL }` to pull all subpaths. | [nullable][array zero-terminated=1]
commit | the commit to update to, or `NULL` to use the latest. | [nullable]
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_add_uninstall (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                       const char *ref,
                                       GError **error);

Adds uninstalling the given ref to this transaction. If the transaction is set to not deploy updates, the request is ignored.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
ref | the ref |
error | return location for a GError |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success; `FALSE` with `error` set on failure.

### flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources ()

    void
    flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources
                                   (FlatpakTransaction *self);

Similar to `flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source()`, but adds all the default installations, which means all the defined system-wide (but not per-user) installations.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |

### flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source ()

    void
    flatpak_transaction_add_dependency_source
                                   (FlatpakTransaction *self,
                                    FlatpakInstallation *installation);

Adds an extra installation as a source for application dependencies. This means that applications can be installed in this transaction relying on runtimes from this additional installation (whereas it would normally install required runtimes that are not installed in the installation the transaction works on).

Also see `flatpak_transaction_add_default_dependency_sources()`.

#### Parameters

self | a FlatpakTransaction |
installation | a FlatpakInstallation |

### flatpak_transaction_run ()

    gboolean
    flatpak_transaction_run (FlatpakTransaction *transaction,

                             GError **error);

Executes the transaction.

During the course of the execution, various signals will get emitted. The FlatpakTransaction::choose-remote-for-ref and “add-new-remote” signals may get emitted while resolving operations. “ready” is emitted when the transaction has been fully resolved, and “new-operation” and “operation-done” are emitted while the operations are carried out. If an error occurs at any point during the execution, “operation-error” is emitted.

Note that this call blocks until the transaction is done.

#### Parameters

transaction | a FlatpakTransaction |
cancellable | a GCancellable. | [nullable]
error | return location for an error |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` if an error occurred

                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::add-new-remote signal gets emitted if, as part of the transaction, it is required or recommended that a new remote is added, for the reason described in `reason` .

#### Parameters

reason | A FlatpakTransactionRemoteReason for this suggestion. | [type FlatpakTransactionRemoteReason]
from_id | The id of the app/runtime |
suggested_remote_name | The suggested remote name |
url | The repo url |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` to add the remote

### The `“basic-auth-start”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   char               *remote,
                   char               *realm,
                   GVariant           *options,
                   int                 id,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::basic-auth-start signal gets emitted when a basic user/password authentication is needed during the operation. If the caller handles this it should ask the user for the user and password and return `TRUE`. Once the information is gathered call `flatpak_transaction_complete_basic_auth()` with it.

If the client does not support basic auth then return `FALSE` from this signal (or don't implement it). This will abort the authentication and likely result in the transaction failing (unless the authentication was somehow optional).

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
remote | The remote we're authenticating with |
realm | The url to show |
options | Extra options, currently unused |
id | The id of the operation, can be used to finish it |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

                   char               *for_ref,
                   char               *runtime_ref,
                   GStrv               remotes,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::choose-remote-for-ref signal gets emitted when a remote needs to be selected during the execution of the transaction.

#### Parameters

for_ref | The ref we are installing |
runtime_ref | The ref we are looking for |
remotes | the remotes that has the ref, sorted in prio order |

### The `“end-of-lifed”` signal

    void
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   char               *ref,
                   char               *reason,
                   char               *rebase,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::end-of-lifed signal gets emitted when a ref is found to be marked as end-of-life during the execution of the transaction.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
ref | The ref we are installing |
reason | The eol reason, or `NULL` |
rebase | The new name, if rebased, or `NULL` |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

### The `“end-of-lifed-with-rebase”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   char               *remote,
                   char               *ref,
                   char               *reason,
                   char               *rebased_to_ref,
                   GStrv               previous_ids,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::end-of-lifed-with-rebase signal gets emitted when a ref is found to be marked as end-of-life before the transaction begins. Unlike “end-of-lifed”, this signal allows for the transaction to be modified in order to e.g. install the rebased ref.

If the caller wants to install the rebased ref, they should call `flatpak_transaction_add_rebase_and_uninstall()` on `rebased_to_ref` and `ref` , and return `TRUE`. Otherwise `FALSE` may be returned.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
remote | The remote for the ref we are processing |
ref | The ref we are processing |
reason | The eol reason, or `NULL` |
rebased_to_ref | The new name, if rebased, or `NULL` |
previous_ids | The previous names for the rebased ref (if any), including the one from `ref` |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the operation on this end-of-lifed ref should be skipped (e.g. because the rebased ref has been added to the transaction), `FALSE` if it should remain.

### The `“install-authenticator”` signal

    void
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   char               *remote,
                   char               *authenticator_ref,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::install-authenticator signal gets emitted if, as part of resolving the transaction, we need to use an authenticator, but the authentication is not installed, but is available to be installed from the ref.

The application can handle this signal, and if so create another transaction to install the authenticator.

The default handler does nothing, and if the authenticator is not installed when the signal handler fails the transaction will error out.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
remote | The remote name |
authenticator_ref | The ref for the authenticator |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

                   FlatpakTransactionProgress  *progress,
                   gpointer                     user_data)

The ::new-operation signal gets emitted during the execution of the transaction when a new operation is beginning.

                   char                        *commit,
                   int                          result,
                   gpointer                     user_data)

### The `“operation-error”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction          *object,
                   FlatpakTransactionOperation *operation,
                   GError                      *error,

                   gpointer                     user_data)

The ::operation-error signal gets emitted when an error occurs during the execution of the transaction.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
operation | The FlatpakTransactionOperation which failed |
error | A GError |
details | A FlatpakTransactionErrorDetails with details about the error. | [type FlatpakTransactionErrorDetails]
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

Flags: Run Last

### The `“ready”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::ready signal is emitted when all the refs involved in the operation have been resolved to commits, and the required authentication for all ops is gotten. At this point `flatpak_transaction_get_operations()` will return all the operations that will be executed as part of the transaction.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` to carry on with the transaction, `FALSE` to abort

Flags: Run Last

### The `“ready-pre-auth”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::ready-pre-auth signal is emitted when all the refs involved in the transaction have been resolved to commits, but we might not necessarily have asked for authentication for all their required operations. This is very similar to the ::ready signal, and you can choose which one (or both) to use depending on how you want to handle authentication in your user interface.

At this point `flatpak_transaction_get_operations()` will return all the operations that will be executed as part of the transaction. You can call `flatpak_transaction_operation_get_requires_authentication()` to see which will require authentication.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` to carry on with the transaction, `FALSE` to abort

### The `“webflow-done”` signal

    void
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   GVariant           *options,
                   int                 id,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::webflow-done signal gets emitted when the authentication finished the webflow, independent of the reason and results. If you for were showing a web-browser window it can now be closed.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
options | Extra options, currently unused |
id | The id of the operation |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

Since: 1.5.1

### The `“webflow-start”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FlatpakTransaction *object,
                   char               *remote,
                   char               *url,
                   GVariant           *options,
                   int                 id,
                   gpointer            user_data)

The ::webflow-start signal gets emitted when some kind of user authentication is needed during the operation. If the caller handles this it should show the url in a webbrowser and return `TRUE`. This will eventually cause the webbrowser to finish the authentication operation and operation will continue, as signaled by the webflow-done being emitted.

If the client does not support webflow then return `FALSE` from this signal (or don't implement it). This will abort the authentication and likely result in the transaction failing (unless the authentication was somehow optional).

During the time between webflow-start and webflow-done the client can call `flatpak_transaction_abort_webflow()` to manually abort the authentication. This is useful if the user aborted the authentication operation some way, like e.g. closing the browser window.

#### Parameters

object | A FlatpakTransaction |
remote | The remote we're authenticating with |
url | The url to show |
options | Extra options, currently unused |
id | The id of the operation, can be used to cancel it |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
