Arch Linux User Repository

Please upgrade to 3.16.2 which (amongst other new features) fixes CVE-2022-29526.

I've updated my alternative PKGBUILD as well.

This package is archaic. The newer version appears to be less taxing for the weakest CPUs. I'm not savvy enough to submit this change myself, but for the sake of simplicity, just do these things:

PKGBUILD: Change pkgver to most recent version. Reference: https://github.com/digitalocean/do-agent/tags

Edit do-agent.service by removing User/Group and introducing DynamicUser=yes instead, as @alzeih suggested. You can do it before installation, or with 'sudo systemctl edit do-agent.service'

Replace both sha256sum values with 'SKIP'. Should be enough.

Ok, it got upgraded.

@z3ntu thanks, updated!

@2bluesc As you've mentioned a while ago that patches for building this package without Docker are welcome, I have a diff here: https://pastebin.com/raw/JW533dUa

Haha. I have the same issue with ArchLinux on DO. I don't know what can be wrong, excepted the lack of support of ArchLinux by DigitalOcean. DO does not even support .ISO images or with .IMG images, IPv6 is no longer supported. So I will quit DO within one month.

In 'graphs' of my droplet DO says "Notice: The legacy metrics agent has been deprecated as of 8 July, 2019. To continue viewing metrics, please upgrade the agent to the latest version." (and also no graphs displayed)

droplet converted to arch Linux using https://github.com/gh2o/digitalocean-debian-to-arch .

What can be wrong?

3.5.2 package released. sha512sum is 982c5b284bb6fc3799b2bb8e8e835e76470ae23a3d1e02439603f0cc0ad1aad07797a890ecbbfbc5362df2b8501fc90ae8cf57df6a276c6b83849fb4ec7ec458

For people that don't like the docker dependency, there's an alternative PKGBUILD at https://git.io/fjZiy. Please note that technically that is a binary package, so I called it do-agent-bin. It's just an example, I have no plans to offer it on AUR.

@z3ntu you're welcome to share a patch for consideration. Certainly would be simpler.
