Description: |-
xdg-open and xdg-email reimplementation for containerized apps
Applications running in a Flatpak sandbox cannot normally launch arbitrary
subprocesses outside the container to open files and URLs. This
package provides reimplementations of the standard xdg-open(1) and
xdg-email(1) command-line tools intended to be run inside the container.
They use the D-Bus session bus to communicate with the xdg-desktop-portal
service outside the container.
.
To avoid conflicting with the standard xdg-utils package, these tools
are installed in /usr/libexec/flatpak-xdg-utils. This directory can be
added to the PATH when preparing a container, or used as a target for
container-specific symbolic links in /usr/bin.
.
This package also contains flatpak-spawn, which can be used by Flatpak
applications to launch processes outside the container. Unprivileged
applications can use this mechanism to launch a helper tool such as a
thumbnailer in a version of their sandbox with more restrictive
permissions, and specially-privileged applications with the 'devel' flag
(such as GNOME Builder) can use this mechanism to bypass the sandbox and
run commands on the host system.
.
This package is normally only useful if you are using Debian packages to
construct a Flatpak runtime or a similar container, and should not be
installed on a normal Debian desktop system. On desktop systems please
install the reference implementation of the xdg-open and xdg-email tools,
which can be found in the xdg-utils package.
.
If this package is installed in a non-Flatpak environment for testing,
it will require the dbus-session-bus and xdg-desktop-portal packages
(which would not be useful to install in a container).
