Is it possible to update flatpaks with the "Software Updater"?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1402 / 3 Years ago, sat, may 29, 2021, 8:35:34

Currently, when I want to update my flatpaks I have to open the gnome software center and look for updates there. My other software (apt, snaps) are updated by the "Software Updater", aka update-manager. Is it possible to also update flatpaks via the Software Updater?

No: update-manager currently handles only deb packages.

It is an Open Source application, so any community member can fork the code and/or can contribute additional features.

A proper Flatpak/Flathub (and Snapd) install already includes automatic updates, so it's understandable why perhaps there hasn't been a lot of community interest in contributing this feature to update-manager.
