Comment (by william@…):
The process for building a released version of the Dart SDK (as opposed to
the current state of its development branch) is opaque. See #52322 for a
bit more discussion of this, including the reference to the information
which suggests looking at an internal Google document in order to find out
how to build a project managed using the depot_tools, including its third
party dependencies, from a release tag.
It's pretty straightforward to make a MacPort which simply installs the
binary distribution as provided by the dart project, of course, as a big
lump e.g. below /opt/local/libexec (for example, better suggestions
welcome). Would this be of any use? The only advantage over installing by
hand, then, is “automatic” updates. Clearly it doesn't fit well with the
MacPorts philosophy of being able to build everything locally, but at this
point it's hard to see an alternative without some help from a Google /
Chromium internal person who knows the magic for building Dart SDK from a
release tag, and there doesn't seem to be any inclination in that
direction from the Dart team from what I can see!
