Bluefin GTS Outdated Runtimes

[ehsanullahjan]

On Bluefin GTS, there seems to be a number of outdated runtimes that warn abouot lack of fixes and security updates:

$ ujust update
note: automatic updates (stage) are enabled
Pulling manifest: ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:gts
No upgrade available.
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

Is this something we should be concerned about? Any idea why that is and what can be done to address it??

This isn't for us to fix, it's for the creators of the applications to submit fixes to this to their flathub packaging. Generally speaking we encourage people to help this out by submitting fixes to these in github.com/flathub so that everyone can spread the work upstream and not in distributions.

Hi Jorge.

What I'm seeing is that in many cases the runtimes are pinned by flatpak and not removed when they are no longer required. Tried to follow this guide: https://sanj.dev/post/banish-flatpak-eol-warnings-forever/ which seemed to be accurate.

Herewith my output that seem to mirror his findings, though with the runtimes being pinned by the system use

Would it be possible to create a ujust script that unpins unused runtimes and (auto)removes them?
