Before upgrading to 8.2, you must set the feature compatibility version to 8.0. See documentation: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/8.2-upgrade-standalone/#feature-compatibility-version

Note that building takes about 84gb of memory as of 8.2.1.

Hi, I tried two times building the new version and both time it fails now. I have enough space. I have enough free space and I had no problems building version 4.0.5-1 and 4.0.6-1.

Now it fails in the check phase:

After disabling unit tests, it works again. Does someone else have the same problem?

READ ME - Manual intervention potentially required upgrading to or past 4.0.6-2

If you never modified /etc/mongodb.conf, there is nothing you need to do, as pacman will install the new configuration file for you.

If pacman alerts you that a new configuration file is saved at /etc/mongodb.conf.pacnew, you must switch to it, or at least modify your existing one to enable forking.

Among other cleanups, 4.0.6-2 switches to:

1. Upstream's systemd service file, which uses a systemd service type of forking, versus the old Arch-specific type of simple.

2. Upstream's configuration file, which uses the YAML format introduced back in 2.6, versus the old Arch-specific configuration file using the 2.4 format.

If you had modified /etc/mongodb.conf, pacman will install the new one to /etc/mongodb.conf.pacnew. So, you will either need to: switch to the new one, and duplicate changes you made to the old one that you still need, considering the new file is now in the YAML format; or modify your existing one to enable forking. (Using the old 2.4 file format, adding fork: true should be what is needed.)

READ ME - This is quite the package to build

If you use makepkg or an AUR helper you should have 260GB available just to build this. If you use devtools, you will only need 20GB available, because check() is skipped.

It takes a lot of time to build this. Using makepkg, a user reported it took 6.5 hours on an Intel i7. 32 Xeon cores with a high-end NVMe takes an hour.

How much memory you need to build this is untested, but I'd guess having a low amount of memory could cause compilation errors.

If you have compilation problems, please use makepkg, or extra-x86_64-build from devtools, as AUR helpers are not officially supported.

Alternatively, there is the mongodb-bin package, which converts the pre-compiled Ubuntu package into one for Arch. Note Ubuntu's package may use different compilation options.

@karcher: You ran out of space. You need at least 165GB available to build this, and it can take a really long time. 32 Xeon cores take about an hour.

@dabz: PKGBUILD as-is builds fine for me using extra-x86_64-build from package "devtools", with plenty of memory (64G) and hard drive space (165G+) available. I'm wondering if that error could be from running out of disk space. I'm going to be submitting a -2 version today, but it won't have any changes that will affect that.

If you have trouble with building this, try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb-bin/ it worked for me no problems after this had a build error.

I got this exception while upgrading & building to 4.0.6: Exception IOError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'build/scons/sconsign.tmp') in <bound method dblite.__del__ of <SCons.dblite.dblite object at 0x7f32eff2aad0>> ignored

I don't really have time right now to investigate, is it just me having issues with the upgrade?

Error making: mongodb

It took 4h:15m:19s to come to this error and the created folder mongodb-src-r4.0.6 within the cache folder of yay has a size of 38.9 GiB.

Verified updating to 4.0.6 works, with the updated wiredtiger.

Here's changes I'd recommend considering: 1. Remove usr/bin/install_compass. It's a python script to install compass, which is a GUI for working with mongodb. But, the script detects the OS, and if linux, the distribution. It doesn't run on Arch, saying it's an unsupported distribution. There's an AUR package, mongodb-compass. 2. Per namcap: snappy, openssl, libsasl, and lsb-release can be removed from depends. The first 3 are satisfied by other dependencies, and the last is not needed. 3. optdepends of libpcap can be removed. Community listed it for "mongosniff", which was replaced by mongoreplay in 3.4. mongoreplay is part of mongodb-tools, and is listed in its depends.

I've also asked felixonmars if mongodb-tools should be dropped to the AUR, for the same licensing reason, and also so the same maintainer can have both, to keep their version numbers in sync. If you're willing, perhaps keep an eye out for that and pick it up as well. (In case you do, per namcap: libsasl and openssl can be removed from its depends, being satisfied by other dependencies.)
