* Package name : dart Version : 3.13.x Upstream Authors : The Dart project authors (Google LLC) * URL : https://dart.dev Source : https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk * License : BSD-3-Clause (plus bundled third-party trees, each under its own DFSG-compatible license; see debian/copyright) Programming Lang: Dart, C++ Description : Dart SDK (Dart VM, dart2js and tools) The Dart SDK provides the Dart VM, the AOT/native compilers, the dart-to-JavaScript compiler (dart2js), the analyzer and the dart command-line developer tools. It is the reference toolchain for the Dart language. Why this matters for Debian: several requested packages are blocked solely because Dart is not in the archive: - #998024 RFP: Dart Sass -- the reference Sass compiler, built with dart2js - #931793 RFP: fluttersdk -- Flutter, which is built on the Dart SDK - #1051470 ITP: esbuild-sass-plugin (depends on the above) Packaging note (the one unusual point, expanded on debian-devel): Dart is self-hosting (its front-end is written in Dart), so building it needs a previously-built Dart, exactly like ghc, gnat (Ada) and ocaml. The package Build-Depends on a previous dart for that bootstrap; the source tarball contains NO prebuilt binary. A working proof of concept that builds the Dart SDK FROM SOURCE, offline, in sbuild --chroot-mode=unshare, with the Debian system toolchain (gn, ninja, clang, lld) and de-vendored zlib/double-conversion, is at: https://salsa.debian.org/mendezr/dart I intend to maintain this within a suitable team (home-assistant/js)
Hi Juan, Le 20/06/2026 à 03:00, Juan M. Méndez Rey a écrit : https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dart It is a library for robotics and computer animation. You should look for another name (dart-sdk maybe?), and also be wary that the binary packages have names different from the ones of the current src:dart package in the archive. Best regards,
Forgot to add that the (proof-of-concept that builds the Dart SDK from source, in sbuild is at https://salsa.debian.org/mendezr/dart-sdk, in case anyone wants to look.

CC'ing also #998024, since this will unblock that one. Having dart-sdk finally unblocks the long-standing RFP #998024 (Dart Sass) which could then be packaged and close it (also a prerequisite for #931793, Flutter). The proof of concept already builds the Dart SDK from source, offline, in sbuild with the Debian toolchain (using system clang/gn/ninja) and a self-hosting bootstrap like ghc/gnat; I'll need some guidance regarding the agreement on that bootstrap before any upload. I would appreciate anyone pitching in on this. Best, Juan

The bootstrap without stage0 unfortunately makes Dart vulnerable to a trojan horse attack on the compiler. Much like many other compilers currently available in Debian, so I guess that's a lost battle anyway.

I agree, it's the same trusting situation that I see in other compilers like gcc/rustc/ghc already in Debian, so dart-sdk is the same. I documented the stage0 seed in README.source (provenance + the upstream-published zip sha256). Best, Juan
