Suggestion

There seems to be no way to see which remotes are using subsets

For e.g. flatpak remote-list does not list subsets

Started this here btw: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/tree/pgriffis/subsets-info

Doing it everywhere seems a bit tricky but I might have missed something.

Ideally I'd love to see whether the app is verified or not in the output of flatpak search.

Oh, and perhaps also specify seeing / installing only verified apps via a config option. I've seen /var/lib/flatpak/repo/config being thrown around but I would love to have a user-local config file like ~/.config/flatpak

Seeing / installing only verified, should be already possible, just add a remote with only that subset active.

It's definitely possible, but I think the UX could be a little better. I don't see a way to find out what repository subsets are available in the command line. It would be nice if flatpak remotes added a column, e.g. like so

$ flatpak remotes
Name    Options     Subsets
fedora  system,oci  
flathub system      floss,verified,verified_floss

Once you have that information, it seems you have to flatpak remote-modify to convert it to use one of those subsets.

It would be convenient if --subset is part of the CLI interface for searching, so one could easily do things like

flatpak search --subset=floss foo

But you are correct, all the core bits are in place to provide the capability. I had to find out the names of subsets on flathub by Google searching and finding forum/help thread discussions, so I think there is room for improvement, even if my theorizing here isn't the wanted path.

flathub-infra/documentation#78 should hopefully help
