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

Thanks. I bumped pkgver anyway as I wanna know if the latest version still works fine or not.

please change the upstream url to TLS encrypted https, but don't change the package version or rel for this, since it doesn't change the resulting package, just metadata. Also change the link in the depot_tools.install file when you're at it. thanks in advance :)

OK! I've pushed a commit that removed /etc/profile.d/depot_tools.sh. If that brings any problem to users, we can revert it.

aperez commented on 2017-05-10 15:07 (UTC)

Well, I do not use this myself much lately, but it was handy to have the tools in the $PATH. That being said, I have no strong opinion about whether a profile.d script should be installed or not. As a matter of fact: if there's somebody interested in taking care of this package, I'll happily pass it along to someone and/or them as co-maintainers ;-)

yan12125 commented on 2017-04-08 16:13 (UTC)

Got it. Sometimes I feel my $PATH bloated, too :) Maybe we can have a change, so that $PATH needs to be modified in .bashrc/.zshrc/etc... by users manually. How do you think, @aperez?

vasya commented on 2017-04-08 16:04 (UTC)

@yan12125 no particular reason except I do not need it at all. And the PATH in question has _125_ executables. A bit too much for me.

yan12125 commented on 2017-04-08 15:12 (UTC)

Just curious - any reason for keeping this package from touching /etc/profile.d?

vasya commented on 2017-04-08 14:14 (UTC)

Hi. If anyone's interested, I made a fork of this AUR package that does not change your PATH (and does not touch /etc/profile.d): https://github.com/vn971/aur-depot-tools-git At the time of writing, here is the actual diff: https://github.com/vn971/aur-depot-tools-git/commit/c9967c250439a20bacc2640715e35ce3e8c03bdf The package works well for building `google-breakpad-git` BTW.

I guess you didn't install google-cloud-sdk? In general there's no need to run gclient as root
