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 and aur/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. Sadly aur/paru does not reach at building updates for the package without additional flags. Please use paru -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 execute pacman -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 using pacman -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 packages

  • flutter-common : the common files for Flutter needed for all use cases

  • flutter-devel : your option of choice as a developer - ships the Flutter tool and all required templates to e.g. create a new project

  • flutter-tool : The pure Flutter tool. Use as depends to build your package.

  • flutter-target-linux : The Flutter Linux build files. Use as depends to build your package.

  • flutter-target-web : The Flutter web build files. Use as depends 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 the extra/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 !

This package is the one the craziest things from the AUR I tried to install. From the pinned comments, this is because of how flutter is required to be installed and how the AUR helpers work, etc.

I'm going to try manual installation instead of this.

Why do the following packages conflicts with themself:

  • flutter
  • flutter-gradle

HBBrennan commented on 2024-09-20 03:31 (UTC)

If anyone sees the error,

Unhandled exception:
PathNotFoundException: Cannot open file, path = '/usr/lib/flutter/version' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)

I was able to fix this with unset FLUTTER_ROOT. I previously set it to work with some other tools. Hope this helps someone.

gradle-autowrap has now been upgraded to version 1.1.2 which fixes the incompatibility.

emlun commented on 2024-09-11 14:19 (UTC)

Wait, sorry, I spoke to soon - that was caused by gradle-autowrap assuming that ./gradlew is an executable if it exists. Uninstalling that package fixes the issue.

emlun commented on 2024-09-11 14:15 (UTC) (edited on 2024-09-11 14:20 (UTC) by emlun)

(EDIT 2: This is caused by incompatibility with gradle-autowrap, not the fault of the PKGBUILD.)

Build currently fails on a fresh clone (EDIT: This is commit 9980c0c110732f216a450ac22592ab7cb3f175b1):

This entire package is a mess, everything split up like this causes so much trouble with dependencies. I hope Flutter dies because it's really annoying working with any package dependencies from Google.

@bitscoper Yes, it gives me the same error.
