Arch Linux User Repository

I have packaged mongodb-tools to my unofficial arch linux repository, you can find more information about this repository on the arch wiki, and the git repository for it (which also contains a list of packages):

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#PolarRepo
• https://git.polarian.dev/AUR/polarrepo

Once the repository is added you can simply install mongodb-tools using pacman:

pacman -Syu mongodb-tools

And update it like usual:

pacman -Syu

Works for me, of course. Make sure you're building the package in a clean chroot.

Doesn't work. Gave Segmentation fault on every command, while building from the GitHub page worked.

By the way, I accidentally specified the wrong version when I flagged this out of date. The lastet version is: 100.5.2. They jumped a few versions... https://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/#versioning

Hey there. The binary doesn't have a version:

$ /usr/bin/mongodump --version
mongodump version: built-without-version-string
git version: build-without-git-commit

Maybe you can build with build.go to get the version string?

@mirsella: Fixed

how can we merge the new working pkgbuild into this package in the AUR repo ? seems like the maintainer is not active anymore

@rafaelff, Thank you for noting, you saved me a lot of time! Here are two adjustments.

• [ -n $GOPATH ] --> [ -n "$GOPATH" ]
• export $GOPATH --> export GOPATH

Packager, I have some notes on the PKGBUILD.

LT;DR:

Here is a suggestion of PKGBUILD which works for me, and is updated to 4.2.15:
http://ix.io/3tiS

• set_goenv.sh is meant to declare some functions to be used on go build command line, as can be seen in build.sh in the source directory. Since this PKGBUILD is using none of the declared functions, running set_goenv.sh. shouldn't be required.

• Reading the Go packaging guidelines in Archwiki, one can see the recommendation to export some variables. One particular case is PIE attribute to LDFLAGS: namcap complains on the lack of PIE in files contained in the built package, which is solved by exporting the variables mentioned in the wiki page. NOTE: I'm not sure which one are necessary. See below a PKGBUILD suggestion that works for me.

• If $GOPATH is empty, which seems to happen when building in a clean chroot, build with failed with message missing GOPATH due to export GOPATH="$GOPATH:$srcdir/build". I suggest using a different approach to check whether is GOPATH is empty to set $srcdir/build directly or just to append. For instance:

  [ -n $GOPATH ] && GOPATH="$GOPATH:$srcdir/build" || GOPATH="$srcdir/build"
  export $GOPATH

• libsasl is a dependency for mongoreplay tool, so it should be added to array.

• Go 1.16 now have modules on by default, so GO111MODULE=off must be set in order to work-around the "no required module provides package ..." error message. It might be an issue on See Go 1.16 changelog and Bug #771105 on Gentoo Bugzilla

• Version 4.2.15 is available, so how about updating the PKGBUILD?
