teapot_tools

reimplementation of gclient from depot_tools and cipd from luci-go in Rust (or as some may call it, Python with extra steps).

why?

I was trying to get depot_tools working on my machine, only to see things like this:

``` ./thirdparty/depottools/bootstrappython3: line 28: cipd: command not found ./thirdparty/depottools/bootstrappython3: line 32: bootstrap-2@3.8.10.chromium.23bin/python3/bin/python3: No such file or directory /home/lauren/aports/testing/signal-desktop/src/webrtc-4896c/thirdparty/depottools/bootstrappython3: line 28: cipd: command not found /home/lauren/aports/testing/signal-desktop/src/webrtc-4896c/thirdparty/depottools/bootstrappython3: line 32: bootstrap-2@3.8.10.chromium.23bin/python3/bin/python3: No such file or directory cat: can't open '/home/lauren/aports/testing/signal-desktop/src/webrtc-4896c/thirdparty/depottools/python3binreldir.txt': No such file or directory [E2022-06-21T19:47:00.253814+02:00 28299 0 annotate.go:273] goroutine 1:

```

I looked at these errors, at the DEPS file, and got the impression that it's gonna be easier to rewrite it than to get it running.

dependencies

listed as alpine package names, should be similar on wherever

build: - openssl-dev - protoc - python3-dev - rust

runtime: - git - python3 (libpython3)

security considerations

Do NOT run on untrusted projects.

DEPS file is literally Python code run on a Python interpreter, it possibly can run some malicious code.
DEPS file contains hooks that are supposed to (not implemented yet) be run before/after cloning dependencies, they can be malicious code.
