Hello,
flutter --version
fails to return the correct version. In fact, it returns no version.
This breaks the building toolchain for a software I want to build, which checks the flutter version.
@frealgagu can you fix it?

Running flutter pub cache repair
results in:
Flutter failed to write to a file at "/opt/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/.dart_tool/version".
Please ensure that the SDK and/or project is installed in a location that has read/write permissions for the current user.
Try running:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /opt/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/.dart_tool/version
Hello,
I have updated flutter, and deployed it to polarrepo
.
Would still like to discuss with the other maintainers what to do moving forward, please reach out!
Take care,
Polarian
I just updated this ughhh
I will do it in a few minutes :)
Those who are complaining about the package being update, the new version overwrote the old version, thus this package can not be bumped until the new new version is released, please read the comment history.
As I commented previously, 3.13.4 has been out since September 13. An even newer release 3.13.5 came out a few days ago: https://docs.flutter.dev/release/archive?tab=linux
Hello,
I have not really done much since I was added as a co-maintainer, I expected to fix the package, but due to issues with google, the likelihood of a working flutter package is low, and would require many patches.
I currently do not have the time for this, but I do want to try to help out, I apologise to the other maintainers but you continuing to aimlessly bump this package is not going to work.
I am aware that flutter contributors and developers are reading these posts, I kindly ask you to reconsider rejecting your decision to not help with packaging flutter, you have the better knowledge of the codebase and it would help out a ton, patching flutter would be a massive task and would be difficult to pull off.
Those who are complaining about the package being update, the new version overwrote the old version, thus this package can not be bumped until the new new version is released, please read the comment history.
I would appreciate if the other maintainers please reach out to me on IRC so we can better discuss this, I am within #archlinux-aur and my nick is the same (Polarian), please reach out so we can discuss this situation.
I have emailed you both in the past, but I never received a response, which is a severe disappointment, my email is polarian@polarian.dev, if you missed the email you can search for it.
Without communication this mess will never be solved, so please come out of the corner and reach out and we can discuss this problem in more depth.
Thank you all for helping out, especially the flutter developers which have helped users out in the comments. That you to the two maintainers who kept this up to date and tried to package flutter in its current state, but unfortunately it is not going to work (due to flutter needing read and write permissions to its own directory.
Flutter devs, would be appreciated if you could find the time to join #archlinux-aur. Maybe form a channel to fix this package, who knows.
Take care all,
Polarian
I've published a flutter-engine
and flutter-engine-google-bin
package. The former compile the flutter engine from source. This will take a lot of ram and time depending on your machine and if you compile everything into ram. Install the later if you want to use the pre-compiled binaries from google. See my localsend
package for an example on how to use. These are only makedepends, apps will have all they need to run.
Package is already flagged. Just wait a couple weeks for update. If still not updated by then, open an orphan request.
If impatient, update a local copy of the PKGBUILD.
So I assume you are asking to wait until flutter-3.13.4 gets released, because of the overwrite of 3.13.3?
The upstream release is out. If you mean on AUR, you can submit a PR to update it.
@patlefort this is unconventional, pulling about 500MB (about 1GB when decompressed) runtime each time you want to update the package is so inefficient.
Furthermore, we should always strive for repro and having dependencies managed by Arch, not by upstream binaries.
I don't care if it takes 100 patches, and 2 years to get it working, I am not going to give up and just pull a binary from google.
You can't build trust if we simply pull binaries from google without building them ourselves. As a note this should be flutter-bin not flutter!

TL;DR
Upgrade using
aur/yay
might take very long and works inefficiently.Upgrade using
aur/paru
requires the-d
flag.This is not my fault.
Note to the lovers of AUR helpers : It looks like dependency resolution is a complex topic. Despite all package relations being properly declared in the Flutter packages, most AUR helpers seem to have trouble resolving the dependency chain between the package bases
aur/flutter
andaur/flutter-artifacts-google-bin
. This is not my fault and I cannot do anything about it.It looks like the initial installation works fine using
aur/paru
. Sadlyaur/paru
does not reach at building updates for the package without additional flags. Please useparu -Syud
(whereas the-d
is the relevant flag) to upgrade the package.On the other hand
aur/yay
properly reaches at both installing and updating this package, even though it builds the package 15 times (!!!) again and again.If you use
aur/paru
, consider to simply executepacman -R flutter && pacman -Rns flutter
to clean up the previous installation of both package bases.If you build both package bases using
makepkg -sfC
and later on install all build outputs usingpacman -U
, both the installation and the updates work like a charm.I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but sadly there's nothing I can do about this.

Huge update to the Flutter AUR package :
The previous implementation basically did a user installation of Flutter - downloaded the custom Dart SDK, CI artifacts from Chromium CI and had to be kept in user R/W access in order to have the Flutter Cache Manager working.
These times are now over - a clean and (almost) completely rewritten PKGBUILD which now uses clean dependency declarations, system Dart and Gradle and for sure no more user R/W installation directory.
This AUR entry is now a split package. Installing
aur/flutter
will still bundle the entire toolchain you knew from before. The other way round, if you don't need everything - e.g. when depending on Flutter as a build dependency in another package, you can choose to only depend on what you need.The following split packages are available :
flutter
: meta package containing all other split packagesflutter-common
: the common files for Flutter needed for all use casesflutter-devel
: your option of choice as a developer - ships the Flutter tool and all required templates to e.g. create a new projectflutter-tool
: The pure Flutter tool. Use asdepends
to build your package.flutter-target-linux
: The Flutter Linux build files. Use asdepends
to build your package.flutter-target-web
: The Flutter web build files. Use asdepends
to build web apps (e.g.fluffychat-web
does this).flutter-target-android
: The Flutter Android build files. Use if you want to develop Android apps.flutter-gradle
: The Flutter Gradle wrapper. Populated from system Gradle.flutter-intellij-patch
: a tiny patch to make the IntelliJ Flutter plugin work with the new package.flutter-material-fonts-google-bin
: Mandatory fonts package, planned to have a system-installed drop-in replacement soon.flutter-engine-common-google-bin
: Shared part of the Flutter engine - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-sky-engine-google-bin
: Flutter sky engine - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-engine-linux-google-bin
: Linux part of the Flutter engine - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-engine-web-google-bin
: Web part of the Flutter engine - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-engine-android-google-bin
: Android part of the Flutter engine - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-gradle-google-bin
: The Flutter Gradle wrapper - downloaded from Google servers.flutter-dart-google-bin
: The Flutter original Dart SDK - downloaded from Google servers. This is helpful if theextra/dart
package is not available in the right version on your distro or remix.Stay tuned for non google-bin versions of the engine, they are in coming !
Since almost everything is written from scratch and heavy patches are applied to use the system packages as dependencies, there might still be bugs occurring. Please report them otherwise I can't fix them !
