Flathub build error: min-free-space-percent '3%' exceeded from appdata screenshots

[wereturtle]

Linux distribution and version

Linux Mint 19

Flatpak version

1.0.6

Description of the problem

The latest ghostwriter version 1.7.4 was pulled in for a Flathub build here, and failed. It appears to have not had enough available space to pull in the appdata screenshots. Please see error log below, and the link above for the full log. Is there a workaround for this? If I were to release a version 1.7.5 with, say, only one screenshot instead of three, what is the maximum size Flathub allows? Thanks!

Steps to reproduce

Build ghostwriter from Flathub. (Note that it builds fine on my local computer with flatpak-builder.)

Hello from 1y in the future. Did anyone find out more about this? I am seeing the same problem when trying to build an electron app into a flatpak using electron-forge's Flatpak maker (using @malept/flatpak-bundler under the hood).

Version: Flatpak 1.4.3

So far the only solution I have found is to free up additional storage capacity on the file system (in my case /var). It would be nice to be able to override this limit, but I'm not sure how. With large devices, "3%" is a lot more than needed.

You can lower the percent if you're sure you have enough disk space: ostree --repo=REPO_PATH config set core.min-free-space-percent 1 but this may not be doable since it seems the repo is created in a temporary directory.
