NAME

flatpak-mask - Mask out updates and automatic installation

SYNOPSIS

flatpak mask [OPTION…] PATTERN…

DESCRIPTION

Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are masked. A masked ref will never be updated or automatically installed (for example a masked extension marked auto-download will not be downloaded). You can still manually install such refs, but once they are installed the version will be pinned.

The patterns are just a partial ref, with the * character matching anything within that part of the ref. Here are some example patterns:

org.some.App
org.some.App//unstable
app/org.domain.*
org.some.App/arm

To list the current set of masks, run this command without any patterns.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-h, –help

Show help options and exit.

–remove

Instead of adding the patterns, remove matching patterns.

-u, –user

Mask refs in a per-user installation.

–system

Mask refs in the default system-wide installation.

–installation=NAME

Mask refs in a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in etc/flatpak/installations.d. Using –installation=default is equivalent to using –system.

-v, –verbose

Print debug information during command processing.

EXAMPLES

$ flatpak mask

$ flatpak mask org.broken.App
