Description

Name: depot_tools
Homepage: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools
Reason: it is essential to build many things Google, such as chromium (browser), dartlang, etc. It might be helpful for a user who is building Chromium/Google stuffs, but it's mostly for our (the developers') convenience so that we don't need to git clone it every time we build a package developed by Google.
License: distributable, but I don't think it's open source: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools/+/refs/heads/main/LICENSE
Source: same as homepage

Also, if accepted, please advise on what the name of the package should be (depot_tools or depot-tools or something else).

Event Timeline

The license is BSD-3-Clause so it is open source :D

Aha thanks! This is why I can never get a full score on my math tests.

DataDrake moved this task from Backlog to Accepted For Inclusion on the Package Requests board.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a completed patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
