Arch Linux User Repository

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.
