Arch Linux User Repository

Installers beware! This package is a fiasco and the upstream Git repository basically has bunch of binary blobs in it that do strange things. I'm working on cleaning up the packaging some but the upstream behavior is egregious. Wash your /opt/depot_tools directory out with soap and bleach when done.

depot_tools is installed in /opt/depot_tools/. This directory is not in $PATH by default, so make sure to export PATH=/opt/depot_tools:$PATH before using it. Also, this directory has root permissions, so either use it as root, or if you want to use it as your currect user:

# groupadd depot_tools
# gpasswd -a $(whoami) depot_tools
# setfacl -m g:depot_tools:rwX /opt/depot_tools/

Then re-login as your current user or log your terminal in to the newly created group:

$ newgrp depot_tools

Actually that's not the only issue. I'd apply this, Google expects that the tree match Git.

Please do not delete the .git repo, remove this line: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=depot-tools-git&id=77928bc9f3f989bbc6386ef3adac514499dbe938#n36

@Rustmilian Lets see patches here or a PR on this repo before we talk about co- access. Definitely open to improvements.

I'd like to co-maintain this package. I've emailed further details to you.

this is failing to build because the upstream git repository no longer contains any .exe files. {bat,exe} in the PKGBUILD needs to be changed to just bat.

@japhir You have a source clone from before some packaging changes. Clear your source directory and try again.

Apparently it checks whether it has the "correct" upstream url now...

==> ERROR: /home/japhir/.cache/paru/clone/depot-tools-git/depot_tools is not a clone of https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

The architecture on this should not be 'any', there are platform specific binaries being distributed in this package.

depot_tools is installed in /opt/depot_tools/. This directory is not in $PATH by default, so make sure to export PATH=/opt/depot_tools:$PATH before using it. Also, this directory has root permissions, so either use it as root, or if you want to use it as your currect user:
