This simply updates the package dependencies by running flutter update-packages --force-upgrade.
I'm doing this with no other changes, because the last time I tried that, redness occurred. I want to isolate the problem to a "clean" update of the packages.
It looks like the plugins device_info, connectivity, and url_launcher haven't yet had their gradle configurations updated, so they fail when trying to build with the new gradle. I did not upgrade for those three packages only (in flutter_gallery) until we are ready to fix them (fixing them for master will break them for alpha users, so we need to do an alpha roll to do that).
This adds our self-compiled copy of the MinGit executable (built from the flutter/git repo) to the archive when building an archive for Windows.
I also tweaked the internal API for prepare_package.dart so that there's a single entry point to build an archive.
This is the first step in a two-step process of moving the package preparation step from a recipe in chrome_infra to a dart script in the flutter repo. This will make it easier to make changes to the process. The second step is to change the infra recipe to call this script.
In addition, I added a step to the packaging process to run flutter create for each type of template so that any pub dependencies of the templates get added to the cache that gets packaged (and thus users can run flutter create --offline and have it work).
Note that the actual packaging into a "tar" or "zip" file now happens here, so a developer could actually run this script on their machine to create a package.
* fix updrade script; upgrade to the latest package versions
* exclude special dependencies from transitive closure
* fix stack trace handling in flutter_test due to stack_trace change
* change type on _emptyStackTrace
* Pin all dependencies ONCE AND FOR ALL
This replaces the secret `flutter update-packages --upgrade` with a destructive `flutter update-packages --force-upgrade` that actually goes and pins every dependency and transitive dependency in every flutter package to the same version.
* Add comments.
