As far as this AUR package is concerned, this is a major update.
Packaging changes:
• Use “matomo” where possible (no more “piwik” in the build scripts)
• Fix pkgdesc (shouldn’t mention the package name)
• License is GPL3 (GPLv3 or later), not GPL (GPLv2 or later)
• PHP dependency needs to be at least 5.5.9 (so e.g. php53 from AUR
wouldn’t be good enough, but php56 would be)
• Replace mariadb dependency with mysql>=5.5 (mariadb provides mysql, so
this way it supports any mysql, not just mariadb; I considered moving
it from optdepends to depends as well, but I suppose its mysql need
not be on the same server, so optdepends is correct)
• Use HTTPS for downloads
• Quote paths with variable expansions in the shell scripting
• Removed optional php-geoip dependency, because it’s not what Matomo
needs: Matomo uses geoip2, not geoip. It’s pure PHP and thus vendored
in, though if you install the faster maxminddb C extension it’ll
automatically use it in preference.
Functional changes:
• Upgrade from 3.4.0 to 3.5.1
• Move /usr/share/webapps/matomo/config/ to /etc/webapps/matomo/,
leaving a symlink in its stead.
• Move /usr/share/webapps/matomo/tmp/ to /usr/lib/webapps/matomo/tmp/
• Tighten the permissions of /usr/share/webapps/matomo by changing the
owner from http:http to root:http, so that in it, only piwik.js and
the plugins directory are writable by the http user. Note that
/usr/share/webapps/matomo/plugins is excluded from the owner change:
it is still owned by http:http so you can add plugins through the
marketplace.
• Support geoip2-database directly (install that package, and you can
immediately enable proper geolocation in the Matomo admin)
Upgrades should be fine with no data loss, but I still suggest caution.
I have not been rigourous in verifying that everything works properly in
all circumstances.
