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 The WiKi suggests using cron, but that's an outdated idea compared to systemd timers.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).

Everything should be back to a functioning condition. I apologize for the mismanagement of this package.
