Arch Linux User Repository

For future commenters:

TLDR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ceph | From source build (slow)

https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ceph-bin | Pre-built binaries (fast)

Unlike the original community version, this repo builds ceph from source. Ceph is a large, complicated project so this takes several hours on a good build server.

To get a similar experience to how community/ceph worked (pre-built binaries) use ceph-bin instead.

Thanks for the kind words :)

I was expecting v20 to already be released, but something seems to be holding it up, and we're getting pretty close to the holiday season, so it may only happen next year, now.

@pbazaah Thanks again for all your work. I've got the ISA erasure coding plugin working.

It's fantastic. Thanks for your ongoing work. I look forward to 20.x releases which apparently bring huge speed ups to erasure coded pools.

Looks like a change from boost 1.89: https://github.com/boostorg/system/issues/132#issuecomment-3146378680

I'll get a pkgrel out soonish to fix this

Hi, with an Arch system up to date as of writing this comment I get this error when building

CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/Boost-1.89.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_system" (requested version 1.89.0) with any of the following names:

As a heads up the release of Ceph v20 is nigh, but I normally hold off on packaging it for a while, to give time for any early bug fixes to make their way in to the release, so I don't expect to release v20 here until next month at the earliest.

I will be releasing a -2 of 19.2.3 which finally has a fix for the mgr dashboard, backported from the mainline upstream. Yay.

Couple things to note however:

1. You must disable the restful mgr module (it will be removed entirely in the next release anyway) or the dashboard will still break
2. ceph mgr module disable restful
3. You need to install python-routes (and probably other python packages) for the dashboard to work. I'll be adding this as a optional dep to the ceph-mgr package, and I probably will look at splitting up the mgr modules a bit more, so I can specify the exact deps each need, but that's not happening for now.

mgr modules cephadm and diskprediction_local also remain broken for the moment, but cephadm should be fixed when v20 releases, and diskprediction_local looks deprecated by the upstream anyway.

v19.2.3-1 has been released.

There's no notable changes beyond a few feature backports from the main branch, and a full fix for the data loss bug in RGW -- v19.2.2 fixed it in practice, but it was still possible under some uncommon circumstances.

This also rebuilds ceph for glibc 2.42

• https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2025/v19-2-3-squid-released

They have a PR for the Boost stuff:

https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/63191

I got my first successful build just now. I'm just sidestepping the boost::process stuff for now, I don't trust myself to make the kind of changes needed for v1->v2. The upstream should notice it eventually and my workaround will get much easier to maintain once https://github.com/boostorg/process/issues/480#issuecomment-2797215531 (hopefully) lands.

boost 1.88 seems to have removed support for boost::process::v1 and boost::process::v2 looks... very different.

So this will probably take me some time to unravel and definitely isn't going to happen today.

It almost built. There was another issue

There is more, but this looks like the important part
