Arch Linux User Repository

I did a split of the package to 3 packages: google-cloud-cli, google-cloud-cli-bq, google-cloud-cli-gsutil. There is also package containing the bundled python for those who want it or as a dependency to the gsutil (current version 5.24 does not work with python 3.13 out-of-the-box, although 5.25 which is already available on github should). I am also testing to include other "components".

If there will be interest, it's also possible to split the manpages to another package. So for those who don't want them, the install time can get faster and size significantly smaller.

I have tried not to break anyones installation, so please try to install the 3 mentioned packages and it should work the same as before.

You don't need bundled python for the gcloud to work, and I would advice to use gsutil only if yo really have to. The prefered way is to use gcloud storage anyway.

@oyvindsk - you may be looking for the "full" package which I think would facilitate your need, it's based off a different tarball and includes other components. I created this version specifically to be a minimal footprint of just the basics, it's not really intended (on purpose) to be used in the way you want. See: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-cloud-sdk/

If you try to install or update packages with 'gcloud components ..' you'll get a

"You cannot perform this action because this Cloud SDK installation is managed by an external package manager. Please consider using a separate installation of the Cloud SDK created through the default mechanism .." error.

I call bullshit on this :) You can "fix" it by setting: "disable_updater": false in /opt/google-cloud-sdk/lib/googlecloudsdk/core/config.json

Maybe consider setting this since it makes this package much more useful.

@MaddyBoo - would be happy to help, however I don't use zsh so I started looking into this... and it's horribly complicated. I can't find any wiki (including Arch's), blog, or man pages which indicate how you install system wide completion files. Everything talks about "must be explicitly enabled from your shell", and refer to triggering it from ~/.zshrc and it's $FPATH. (even man zshcompsys(1) has no clue)

Can you provide another 3rd party package here in Arch which provides zsh completion files systemwide? I looked into the zsh package itself and zsh-completions package, they don't own a system directory (like /etc/zsh.completions.d/ or /etc/zsh/completions or whatnot), so it's just not clear what you do with this file (completion.zsh.inc) provided. Guidance and instructions needed. :)

The PKGBUILD seems to install the bash completions but not the zsh completions, can we get this fixed?

@troyengel optional subpackage seems to be the ideal thing to do, but I'm not familiar with it and it'll take me sometime to get around to it. Meanwhile, I'll try to get patches in if someone else can work on it.

The inclusion of google-appengine-go in release 186.0.0 has more than doubled the size of this entire package to over 500MB, it appears that there's a lot of go source getting bundled. Perhaps that can be culled manually.

==== Packages (1) google-cloud-sdk-186.0.0-1

That was rather unexpected, perhaps the go engine should be an optional subpackage.

@johnny12 you can safely ignore those warnings

A little over a week ago I installed google-cloud-sdk 177 from the AUR. Since then I upgraded twice to version 178 and now to 179. Both times I received the following warning: WARNING: There are older versions of Google Cloud Platform tools on your system PATH. Please remove the following to avoid accidentally invoking these old tools: /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/bq /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/java_dev_appserver.sh /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/git-credential-gcloud.sh /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/docker-credential-gcloud /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gsutil /opt/google-cloud-sdk/bin/endpointscfg.py Is it desired to fix this warning and if so then how, by simply deleting the files mentioned there? Or should I just ignore this warning? The files listed are all the files in the bin/ directory. Apart from those files there is also a folder named "bootstrapping" that contains files that seem to be related to the files in the bin/ directory, should I also delete that folder (and thus empty the bin/ directory)? Thanks!

@The_K thanks for the patch. Merged now.
