Due to the long build times of the package (due to the compression of tons of man pages) I have decided to add it to PolarRepo as apache license allows redistribution of software in any form.
To pull the package, see the following links:
Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#PolarRepo Repository guide: https://onedev.polarian.dev/polarrepo/~files
Once the repository database has been fetched (pacman -Syy to refresh all databases), you can install google-cloud-cli using pacman:
pacman -Syu google-cloud-cli
Any issues let me know :)

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 usegcloud storage
anyway.
