I've been adding this package to archlinuxcn repository, thinks again!

@axionl: Thanks for your feedback!

• Regarding deps on base: There seems to be no official consesus on the matter [0][1], but I'm leaning toward including it here in order to be explicit about glibc being a specific dependency of the binary from upstream.

• Regarding "executable stack": It seems I'd need to control source/compilation [2] to fix this (assuming cockroachdb internals don't actually require this), which is inapplicable for a *-bin package.

• Regarding moving to /opt: file-hierarchy(7) seems to indicate keeping the binary in /usr/bin is preferable.

• Regarding hardcoding uid/gid: tmpfiles.d(5) seems to be the proper solution, according to some cross-referencing with comparable packages in community. I've updated this package accordingly.

Thanks for you package, but here's some problems here:

===> Waring: ELF file ('usr/bin/cockroach') has executable stack.

• For this problem, I think create a sof-tlink for ELF file may be better, and put them to /opt path may be a better way.

===> cockroachdb-bin W: Dependency glibc included but already satisfied

• glibc is a part of base group, so you can remove it from PKGBUILD.

But the more serious problem is that:

==> cockroachdb-bin E: File (etc/cockroach) is owned by root:361

==> cockroachdb-bin E: File (var/lib/cockroach) is owned by 361:361

• Forcing the designation of owners and groups is not a good idea under the system root. If you can find a better way to fix this problem, please update the PKGBUILD.
