package/depot-tools: bump version to 8d14454ba4a35fd9d2483842b08815a2357ec86f
The current depot-tools version is from Jul 13 2023, and there is a bug
where when building with PPD enabled, building a Flutter application on
my laptop running Fedora 39 or even in the Debian 11 container fails due
to permission issues when running rsync such as:
/usr/bin/sed: couldn't open temporary file [...]/output/per-package/flutter-gallery/host/share/flutter/sdk/.vpython-root/0e1e32/lib/python3.8/sed763MrF: Permission denied
make: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:267: [...]/output/build/flutter-gallery-2.10.2/.stamp_configured] Error 123
After several hours of attempting to find the exact cause of the issue
by parsing git logs of the depot_tools repository and cross-referencing
bugs on https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues I am unable to
determine the exact reason why the problem occurs or the exact commit
that fixes the issue.
However, updating depot-tools does indeed fix the issue, and looking at
the source code between 4e87f5bf and 8d14454b shows improvements to
several bash scripts, such as gclient, vpython3, and spid. All of which
could be culprits of this bug. As flutter-engine is the only package
that uses host-depot-tools, it is safe to update.
This permission bug is present on PPD and normal builds, but causes a
build to crash only on PPD because of rsyncing. On non-ppd builds, the
bug only causes some minor annoyance when trying to run `make clean`
because permission denials crop up when trying to remove the
.vpython-root directory.
