This package is deprecated in favor of aur/flutter which now contains all required artifacts on its own. This PKGBUILD will be kept as is in order to ensure seamless builds of old Flutter version in future.

The sha256sum is wrong for v3.13.3. Seems like Google silently uploaded a new version?

After deleting the .pub-cache folder from my home it worked too. Thanks!

I have added flutter to my unofficial repository, due to it being a dependency of a package I maintain saber.

Feel free to pull it from my repository, check out PolarRepo

When I try to install it using yay I get the following error:

After deleting the .pub-cache folder from my home it worked.

Following the suggestion by jpike, I had to run the following command after installation to avoid the "The Flutter directory is not a clone of the GitHub project" error.

mv "/opt/flutter/.git-refs" "/opt/flutter/.git"

Why remove the flutterusers group and make the permission rw for all users. This is a poor decision and using a flutterusers group better in term of security

Once installed flutte complains with

Error: The Flutter directory is not a clone of the GitHub project.
       The flutter tool requires Git in order to operate properly;
       to install Flutter, see the instructions at:
       https://flutter.dev/get-started

Why rename the .git directory to .git-refs ? It seemst o work for me with .git not .git-refs

Fresh install (not upgrade) seems to be broken, flutter doctor gives:

Error: The Flutter directory is not a clone of the GitHub project.

flutter 3.7 was working fine, with that install we had /opt/flutter/.git and with the latest release this directory is not present.

I can see that the PKGBUILD does mv "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/.git" "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/.git-refs" and that the flutter.install has mv "/opt/flutter/.git-refs" "/opt/flutter/.git" in its post_upgrade, I think maybe the problem is that for a fresh install the post_upgrade doesn't run, maybe this command should be in post_install. Although I thought that post_upgrade also runs for fresh installations so I'm not sure.

I could not setup flutter using the flutter package. It has issues detecting its own version when I run after a fresh install:

cat /opt/flutter/version

it outputs:

3.10.1

if I run flutter doctor and check the contents again it outputs:

0.0.0-unknown

The previous errors happen because flutter doctor tool expects the flutter installation path to be a git cloned repository and tries to use git to perform various tasks like derive the version from the git branch it is checked out and so on. That's why while trying to detect the version it fails and sets it as unknown

No idea how to fix these issues while using the flutter package from AUR, I don't want to have a manual setup that would require manual intervention in the future
