Flatpak manifest for Transmission

Transmission is a BitTorrent client (website, Git). This is a Flatpak manifest for its Gtk+ version.

This manifest allows Transmission full access to:

• the network, for obvious reasons
• the host filesystem, because Transmission hasn't been adapted to use portals to open .torrents and read/write downloads
• the host D-Bus session bus, because transmission-gtk claims the bus name com.transmissionbt.transmission_{dev}_{inode}, where dev and inode are determined by calling stat(2) on its config directory. This is, I assume, intended to allow running multiple instances of the app, but only if they use separate configs.

Build & Install

Dependencies:

• org.gnome.Platform 3.22: http://flatpak.org/runtimes.html
• org.gnome.Sdk 3.22: http://flatpak.org/runtimes.html

Build Transmission as a Flatpak package:

clone https://github.com/endlessm/transmission-flatpak.git
ransmission-flatpak
ild.sh

Deploy Transmission from your local repository:

pak remote-add --user local "file://`pwd`/repo" --no-gpg-verify
pak install --user local com.transmissionbt.Transmission

Colophon
