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.

flutter doctor ~/mkdir: cannot create directory '/opt/flutter/bin/cache': Permission denied

@hack.augusto my trick is flutter-group-pacman-hook package, but it will throw some warning when upgrading flutter. The package adds a pacman hook that will apply the "right" rights on /opt/flutter. You can define whatever group you want it applied to, but defaults to flutterusers.

git and bash are required, and should be moved to regular dependencies (and unzip added). And I think dart should be removed altogether, as flutter vends its own (custom) version of the dart sdk.

@hack.augusto A package must not use local users in building, the app itself should use a local config for its usage, so it's not something that should be changed in the PKGBUILD. Other packages like npm, go or python are installed as root and to install specific adds, they need to be installed as root (or even be installed using other AUR package). Flutter is more recent that those other packages but I think that this is the way to install adds in the future.

Thanks for the PKGBUILD!

I'm not found of the idea of running flutter as root, maybe the package could create the flutterusers group by default?

These are the lines I added to my local package:

chown -R :flutterusers "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}"
chmod -R g+w  "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}"

Yes, we should add unzip as a dependency, it's listed as one of the system requirements https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux

Looks like flutter is requiring unzip to download packages (It throwed me errors about this when automatically installing dart for example). I don't know if we should add it to the dependencies...

@Ionaowna, did you install all four Android SDK packages?

Hm, I've installed android-sdk, yet flutter doctor doesn't seem to like it:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, v1.17.1, on Linux, locale en_US.utf8)
[✗] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices
    ✗ ANDROID_HOME = /opt/android-sdk
      but Android SDK not found at this location.

1.17.0 looks straightforward to build, however i had to:

sudo pacman --overwrite /opt/flutter/\* -U flutter-1.17.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
