Let me know of any issues!

Updated 04/22/2021

Added "format security" patch from https://git.sailfishos.org/mer-core/db4/blob/master/db-4.8.30-format-security.patch This deals with a change to the default makepkg.conf compile options as set by the Arch Linux maintainers that adds '-Werror=format-security' to the default compiling options.

Changed PKGBUILD to correctly identify the list of supported architectures this package can compile on. Theoretically this should compile and run on a wide range of processors so if I missed one let me know and I can add it in.

To make this package compliant with Arch RFC 0016, could you please rewrite the license field as follows?

license=('Sleepycat')

As suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/26860 added

CFLAGS=-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration

Those files need change +w permission for apply the last patch:

repmgr/repmgr_net.c crypto/aes_method.c txn/txn.c

@pizzaman As was stated by Raansu, it was getting set automatically. But I wasn't sure where it was getting set.

@Raansu Thanks for fixing

@pizzaman thank you for adding me back as a maintainer. The package has been updated.

@pizzaman I feel like I orphaned the package too soon. But I found out just recently that the default makepkg.conf file compiling options got changed recently. It seems like arch linux maintainers think " -Werror=format-security " is a good idea to have.

In the meantime I found a fix so db4.8 would compile with " -Werror=format-security " enabled from a Sailfish OS developer found here. https://git.sailfishos.org/mer-core/db4/blob/master/db-4.8.30-format-security.patch

Could you please add this?

@iohzrd I am wondering why are you compiling with the -Werror=format-security CFLAG?

@iohzrd I'm not 100% about this issue and I don't know how to best fix it.

Because of this I feel like I cannot support this package any further and I will orphaning this package so someone else can take over support.

Currently getting:

../dist/../repmgr/repmgr_net.c: In function ‘__repmgr_listen’:
../dist/../repmgr/repmgr_net.c:1334:2: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

      |  ^~~~~~~~
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make: *** [Makefile:1954: repmgr_net.lo] Error 1

while trying to compile. Please advise.
