I've created a package fvm-sourcebuild for those who want to build the engine from sources. It will cache build artifacts in the same place as flutter-engine (~/.cache/flutter-engine).

Hi, I think it would be beneficial if the package included an UFW application rule, like KDE Connect has. Something like this:

[LocalSend]
title=LocalSend
description=LocalSend
ports=53317/udp|53317/tcp

And a message in an .install file to warn users to activate the rule with sudo ufw limit "LocalSend". UFW is probably the most used firewall in Arch and IIRC with the default rules the Arch Wiki recommends, Localsend port doesn't work.

The license field is outdated. The project was converted to the Apache 2.0 license a couple of years ago.

I just tested this on aarch64/arm64 (Apple M2, Asahi Arch Linux ARM) by modifying the PKGBUILD. It works perfectly, you just need to apply the following patch.

I'd suggest applying this patch so that other users don't have to modify the PKGBUILD themselves.

When trying to install this package, I get this "error". Am I doing something wrong? rustup-1.28.2-3 and rust-1:1.90.0-3 are in conflict. Remove rust? [y/N]

patlefort commented on 2025-03-18 02:18 (UTC)

I found out why: I was caching build output specifically for flutter packages since they need to download a bajillion things when I want to compile flutter from source. It compile fine after clearing it.

patlefort commented on 2025-03-17 22:43 (UTC)

It doesn't solve my problem but I noticed that the build() function is using parenthesis instead of {}.
