Arch Linux User Repository

Here's a list of the changes with 0.13.0rc1.r18.ga72753bad-2:

• Set ldflags -s and -w (stripping)
• Enable GOAMD64 with an autodetected CPU feature level (CPU optimizations) for the x86_64 target
• Add reproducible build patch from upstream (the community package)
• change the build process, like upstream (the community package)
• Set CGO_ENABLED to 0

If you need debug/no cpu optimizations/or want CGO_ENABLED not set to 0, just edit the PKGBUILD and set DEBUG to 1.

I switched from the regular service file to the hardened one, which enables a lot of security features systemd offers.

It will break the mounting feature, but this is already unavailable because the user ipfs is not part of the fuse group (by default).

To avoid crashes if ipfs mount is called, the package is build without this support now.

I've added an install-file which will move the data while updating from /var/lib/ipfs/.ipfs to the more logical /var/lib/ipfs path. The daemon is stopped automatically if necessary. Make sure to start it again.

@rpodgorny do you have an update on this?

@rpodgorny I like to stick as close to the upstream as possible.

If you like this package to provide a systemd-user file, feel free to open a PR on the upstream git - I'll include it, as soon as it's merged.

it would be nice if this package also provided a systemd-user service file. it would make back and forth migration between go-ipfs and go-ipfs-git much easier (i sometimes need to check something in the git version but most of the time i run the non-git package).

can be taken from here:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/go-ipfs

Needs manual intervention:

You need to update go-ipfs-git before you run your system-update to make the installed version compatible with the official repository again.

Needs manual intervention:

Switched service/socket files for systemd to the upstream ones.

If your dependent on the files earlier, you need to check the settings and modify the new files with override.confs accordingly.

Make sure there is no ipfs user/group existing before updating.

I've added a local go-build cache (which doesn't get cleared like before).

There should be no difference in build time, but it allows yay to clean up the build cache for this package and also allows to make clean builds with yay (including a clean build cache).

If you have build IPFS with this package before 0.5.0rc4.r7.g0c57175f0-2 you have already a build cache for IPFS.

You can clean the part ipfs uses - and regain disk space - by running go clean -modcache -r "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs"

Make sure to upgrade this package with something like

yay -Syu go go-ipfs-git

This will replace go-pie with go BEFORE you build this package, instead of afterward. This version doesn't require go-pie anymore.

@mohe thanks, overlooked that (got go-pie on my ignore list).

I've already pushed a new version yesterday :)

Thanks for fixing! Btw, go-pie 1.14.2 just got released!

@mohe I've fixed the PKGBUILD, thanks for the report.

As explained before, the default git to pkgver() from the wiki, which @redfish quoted doesn't work here.

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 0.5.0-rc1.r0.g1a2c88baa

I can't build this package because the package version contains a hyphens which is invalid. Please use @redfish's pkgver()

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
  git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

which is also officially recommended at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git (rewritten a bit)

This package forces a minimal go-version of 1.14.2. All 1.14 versions below are affected by concurrency issues which leads to instabilities and lockups.

If you need to run an older version, you need to downgrade go-pie to the not affected go-version 1.13.8.

You can download the older version of go-pie from the archive:

https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/go-pie/

@redfish thanks for the hint, but this would break the conventions for aur packages on this repo (to show the latest stable, plus changes, plus commit-id) - since the tags are not in the main branch on this repo.

The old workaround to use jq to identify the current version is outdated, I replaced it with a simple grep, but this would lead to 0.5.0-dev as version string, which would also break conventions.

That's why the version detection is a bit more complicated now, but should somewhat reliably fetch the latest rc/stable tag and identify the commits since this tag was released on the main branch (hopefully).

Build fails with:

==> Starting pkgver()... jq: error: Could not open file package.json: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: Error making: go-ipfs-git

Replacing pkgver() function with the suggestion from @redfish works like a charm.

There isn't a need to parse the version from the source files, because the releases are tagged, so best to go with the standard format (0.4.21.r54.gc7dc3c33e):

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
  git describe --long --tags |  sed -e 's/^v//' -e 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

jq version acquisition is failing since go-ipfs now stores the version in version.go.

The LICENSE file has also been split into LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE.
