Hello! it is mandatory to manually import the gpg key of the aide developer.

• You should be able to do it by issuing the command: gpg --recv-keys 2BBBD30FAAB29B3253BCFBA6F6947DAB68E7B931

Compare the output to the one in this github page:https://github.com/aide/aide it should be something along the lines of:

Hannes von Haugwitz hannes@vonhaugwitz.com Hannes von Haugwitz hvhaugwitz@debian.org 4096 bit RSA key F6947DAB68E7B931, created: 2011-06-28 Fingerprint: 2BBBD30FAAB29B3253BCFBA6F6947DAB68E7B931

A few more notes on this package:

• The current version, 0.17.3, needs a few config tweaks (database_in instead of database, log_level and report_level instad of verbose).
• It creates legacy logs -> it should have an entry in /etc/logrotate.d/.
• It would be nice to have a few systemd units (.service and .timer) for regular maintenance and checks. Also, the database files need to be "rotated" after each run etc. The WiKi suggests using cron, but that's an outdated idea compared to systemd timers.
• The cron idea is in fact also wrong, because it updates the checksums unconditionally. Automated regular maintenance (a systemd timer) should only run and log aide -C, not aide -u.
  • A Pacman hook (or the like) should run aide -u after updates. This could (and most likely should) be a systemd .service (but not a systemd .timer), so that it can be restarted in the background by Pacman after updates. This would have quite a few advantages:
    • aide -u would run automatically at the right time.
    • Pacman wouldn't need to block and wait for aide -u after an update.
    • However, if a reboot was to follow, aide -u would be waited for properly.
    • Another Pacman update started closely afterwards would block and wait for the previous aide -u correctly before starting a new one in the background (hence a restart instead of just a start).

Manjaro upgrade today replaced libnettle.so.8 with libnettle.so.9 which causes aide to fail with

/usr/sbin/aide: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Will it be possible to provide a updated package that resolves this issue?

AIDE fails to build against nettle-4.0, see https://github.com/aide/aide/issues/218

Thanks, @josie, that did the trick.

hiya I had some issues building this in clean chroot. this patch made it work for me: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/-/snippets/3791/raw/main/snippetfile1.txt

nettle 4 upgrade breaks aide build.

HI,

https://github.com/aide/aide/releases/tag/v0.19 is released! \o/

Maybe you will add Option: --with-curl \ to configure -options.

Failed to compile due to missing src/aidecheck.service any workaround to fix it? I don't see where the compilation process is reference it or why it's disappearing every time I try to install
