Adam Duskett 48730a1a9d package/depot-tools: new package
Chromium and Chromium OS use a package of scripts called
depot_tools to manage checkouts and code reviews. This package
also includes the gclient utility.

gclient is a Python script to manage a workspace of modular dependencies that
are each checked out independently from different subversion or git
repositories. Features include:

  - Dependencies can be specified on a per-OS basis.
  - Dependencies can be specified relative to their parent dependency.
  - Variables can be used to abstract concepts.
  - Hooks can be specified to be run after a checkout.
  - .gclient and DEPS are Python scripts. You can hack in easily or add
     additional configuration data.

.gclient file: It's the primary file. It is, in fact, a Python script. It
specifies the following variables:

  - solutions: an array of dictionaries specifying the projects that will be
               fetched.
  - hooks: additional hooks to be run when this meta checkout is synced.
  - target_os: an optional array of (target) operating systems to fetch
               OS-specific dependencies for.
  - cache_dir: Primarily for bots, multiple working sets use a single git
               cache.

gclient is necessary for checking out the flutter-engine source code, as the
release tarballs provided on the flutter-engine github are in no state to
compile. Google expects the use of gclient to download a source directory
structure suitable to build the Flutter engine.
