Description Skyler Mäntysaari 2021-11-05 21:32:51 UTC

I would like fluffychat to be added to the portage tree, it uses flutter.

I also want fluffychat, I will try to make an ebuild for it on GURU later today.

Nevermind, I couldn't figure it out. Flutter is very frustrating to deal with. It's designed to work out of its own directory in the developer's home dir. I tried to have it install flutter in /opt, update itself in the postinstall, and copy itself to fluffychat's workdir, but even that doesn't work because flutter has its own package manager functionality which wants to access the internet every time you compile a new package.
I can't even figure out how to compile this outside of portage, presumably because of some package conflict within flutter.
