Add mongodb to logrotate
This package does not set up logrotate for mongodb. I was surprised when an IP change sent me looking at the log, only to find a 362M mongod.log. You will want to create a drop-in for mongodb in /etc/logrotate/logrotate.d. See the Archwiki - logrotate I simply used:
/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log {
rotate 5
sized 2M
missingok
notifempty
copytruncate
}
Adjust as needed. The log grows fairly rapidly due to logging in json format.
Updated for boost 1.90 -> 1.91
A patch was required due to the 1.90 - 1.91 boost version change. The boost update moved macros around merging static_assert into config. A trivial header patch to include boost/static_assert.hpp fixes this issue.
The update also broke compilation due to boost::optional changes. Thanks to Seth's help in the discussion boost 1.91 broke mongodb44 build - need C++ help to properly fix the boost::optional build failure, a simple change fixed the issue at src/mongo/db/catalog/coll_mod.cpp:361.
yaml-cpp Update 0.8 -> 0.9 Requires rebuild
After update of yaml-cpp from the current 0.8.0-3 to 0.9.0-1 a rebuild is required due to the shared library soname bump.
(Note, you can also downgrade to yaml-cpp-0.8.0-3 to restore mongodb44 until the chroot rebuild is complete)
Boost 1.89 -> 1.90
Thankfully, there was no breakage caused by the boost 1.89->1.90 version update. All that is needed is a rebuild to link against the new boost library.
WARNING, on December 15, an exploit was discovered in MongoDB zlib compressed headers:
##
# CVE-2025-14847
# https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-14847
#
# MongoBleed zlib vulnerability - remove zlib compression
# https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/30/mongodb_vuln_exploited_cve_2025_14847/
# --use-system-zlib
#
zlib compression should be disabled in all versions that cannot upgrade to the new version of MongoDB. For MongoDB44, that means zlib compressed headers will be disabled going forward.
boost and boost-libs ver. 1.89 removed libboost_system upstream. A patch was added to remove Scons references to libboost_system and the package simply needs to be rebuilt against the new boost packages. Additional patch added to suppress -Wsign-compare and -Wlto-type-mismatch warnings. All patches renamed with numeric prefix to ensure patch order as the number of patches increase - working fine, no other changes.
Note: after update to boost-1.88.0-2-x86_64, a package rebuild is required, however this will fail due to gcc-15. Patch Done! The package builds and runs fine with gcc-15 and boost-88. TODO add -Wno-sign-compare to CFLAGS and add -Wno-odr to CXXFLAGS for moz.js warnings. (next time)
Note: after update of boost-1.87.0-2-x86_64, a rebuild of the package is required. Additionally, the -Wstringop-overread and -Wstringop-overflow= options now flag about a dozen new warnings along with a few sign-compare and loop variables that should be references.
On fresh rebuild, installed size is reduced by 61M and mongodb idle CPU use is reduced significantly to ~0.3% every few seconds.
Updated to add mongodb-4.4.29-boost-1.87+stdmove.patch resolving all new warnings for non-reference used with range-based-for loops creating copy and removal of final redundant std::move() on function return.
Replacing line #2292 in src/mongo-r4.4.29/SConstruct with:
env.Append( CCFLAGS=['-march=armv8-a+crc', '-mtune=cortex-a72'])
will make it compile and runnable on a raspberry PI (tested on 4 but should work on others as well).
Make sure to run with makepkg -e so it does not unpack and overwrite your changes.
Adopted package, Updated to final 4.4.29 version. Patched to build against boost 1.86 and cleaned up redundant std::move() warnings. Disabled unnecessary preprocessor #warning message output (e.g. the FORTIFY_SOURCE messages) and suppressed char8_t warnings from the 3rd-party fmt package (-Wno-c++20-compat). The package now builds cleanly.
Since 4.4.29 was the final release of the 4.4 branch, this shouldn't change much except for dependency changes upstream. The 4.4 branch was the last branch built without AVX intrinsics enabled so it will run on any hardware or within VMs. It works quite well.
