build: Allow downloading pkgconfiglite with empty checksum

kannanjgithub · kannanjgithub · commit b4fb7f425fa5 · 2026-07-21T17:57:52.000Z
Windows build fails (1) with an error "ERROR: Empty checksums are no longer allowed by default for non-secure sources" when trying to download pkgconfiglite 0.28.0 from an unsecure HTTP URL because Chocolatey v2.4.0 has safety features enabled by default, it rejects the package. This PR makes the change to specify the option `--allow-empty-checksums` for installing pkgconfiglite using Chocolatey. 1 - https://btx.cloud.google.com/invocations/db129a01-66e6-42b2-ab92-d849e24d09b2/targets/grpc%2Fjava%2Fv1.83.x%2Fpresubmit%2Fwindows;config=default/log
