Hi,

I cannot seem to find the configuration files like node.cfg, networks.cfg and zeekctl.cfg when using this package. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You need to change the path to the patch file as it's not installing due to a wrong path.

Replace ../../ with ../patchfile.diff

Best, Boogy

I've rolled the version back to 3.0.6 due to compilation errors encountered on an up to date arch system and gcc 10.1.0.

https://github.com/zeek/zeek/issues/970

It's possible a 3.1.x will address the issue.

Hi Erik, Pierre

Ok, I accept the arguments. I've changed the prefix to /usr, removed the (incorrect) peg to git to prefer 3.1.3 and disabled what I could of optional pieces of the build.

The package now unpacks its ~2000 files into the following directories:

• /usr/bin/ (9 binaries 3 soft-links)
• /usr/include/<binpac, broker, caf, paraglob, zeek>
• /usr/lib/zeek <- libbroker and libcaf are here
• /usr/share/man
• /usr/share/zeek <- .zeek scripts

Please convert this package to build from the latest stable release, and optionally create a second package named zeek-git which builds the latest development version from git master.

P.S. Upstream being strange and installing outside of /usr isn't a good reason to do so ourselves, furthermore, ignore their OBS package and look at the project README which doesn't list any --prefix to use.

P.P.S. Arch also does not do gratuitous split packaging, while debian as a matter of policy does. Therefore certainly don't emulate upstream's respect for debian packaging standards in their debian package by introducing debian packaging standards to archlinux.

Hi @synnick

I understand your choice, but I think the point of a Linux distribution is to be consistent: in ArchLinux, packages install under /usr. It is normal that, when installing a software using its source (as opposed to the distribution packages), you install it somewhere under /opt or /usr/local. But when installing an Archlinux or AUR package, one may expect that it installs under /usr.

My 2 cents,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Sorry for the move of the package to /opt/zeek. I've been slowly aligning this package with the style used upstream by Johanna Amann (0xxon) on the OBS found here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/security:zeek/zeek.

A few months ago, I actually opened a pull to include a zeek PKGBUILD and the response was to stick with /opt/zeek and further split the zeek package into a few different subcomponents (libbroker, zeekctl, zeek-core, etc, etc).

So I intend to follow that style with this PKGBUILD because it will reduce differences across OSes even if it isn't in the standard dirs.

Hi,

I don't think it is a good idea to move the package to /opt/zeek instead of the regular /usr, since we are building a package. Is there a particular reason for this change?

Thanks!

Pierre

Hi! You should add swig to makedepends. Thanks

Updated, thanks for catching that.

I had to add git to makedepends to make it build instead of erroring out with "==> ERROR: Cannot find the git package needed to handle git sources.".

The argument has been removed and the version has now been bumped to 3.1.0-112-dev.

Let me know if it works. Thanks for the comment.

The option "--disable-perftools" has been removed from the configure script, and causes an error. It should be removed from the PKGBUILD file.

Currently the built package is not installable, as it tries to install some dependecies in /usr/lib64 which leads to a conflict in Arch.

Patching CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR into the configure File fixed this for me.

Patch (apply with git patch after checking out the repository): https://gist.github.com/badagent/52a9bb0ed216dd31dec032dba13847ad

Should be fixed now. Looks like they added more OpenSSL version checks which link against the wrong version of libcrypto.

The fix discussed below doesn't work on x86_64. openssl-1.0 is installed.

Gives the following error:

CMake Error at cmake/OpenSSLTests.cmake:38 (message):
  OpenSSL 1.1 is not supported yet; please use OpenSSL 1.0
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:196 (include)

Libs installed:

[Torxed@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q | grep openssl
lib32-openssl 1:1.1.0.h-1
openssl 1.1.0.h-1
openssl-1.0 1.0.2.o-1

Is it because you're looking for 1.0.0 but when in fact 1.0.2 is installed? Not entirely sure this is actually what's going on, but a quick glance that's why.
