Arch Linux User Repository

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.

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

i encounter this error message after successful installation

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

i found it in line 218-226 /opt/flutter/bin/internal/shared.sh

# Test if the flutter directory is a git clone (otherwise git rev-parse HEAD
# would fail)
if [[ ! -e "$FLUTTER_ROOT/.git" ]]; then
    >&2 echo "Error: The Flutter directory is not a clone of the GitHub project."
    >&2 echo "       The flutter tool requires Git in order to operate properly;"
    >&2 echo "       to install Flutter, see the instructions at:"
    >&2 echo "       https://flutter.dev/get-started"
    exit 1
fi

i just clone flutter repository to /opt/flutter and added symbolic link for google-chrome and dart bind with flutter so i remove dart by

sudo pacman -R dart

and

 sudo ln -s "/opt/flutter/bin/dart" "/usr/bin/dart"
 sudo ln -s "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" "/usr/bin/google-chrome"

thanks for this great aur

When I upgraded from 3.10.0-1 to 3.10.1-1 I got the following warnings. Is there any way to prevent those?

@PolarianDev dart included in any flutter archive. Their versions are tightly coupled. The system version of dart can theoretically be updated earlier than flutter, this can break flutter or lead to unexpected errors. Don't use system dart if installing flutter

I have realised that during the building of flutter in a clean chroot, you are downloading the dart sdk directly without adding it as a dependency of the package, dart is within the community repository:

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/dart/

Is there a reason for this?
