Arch and Aur Folks,
I updated https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb44 to build with the
last 4.4.29 source and patched for boost 1.86. The package builds fine now
against current Arch.
I wanted to pass along the results of those efforts and update the Aur
package, but didn't want to take on the maintainer role. Is there a way to
provide an update for the package and bring in back into date without becoming
the maintainer? I have a signed source package I'm happy to pass along if that
is something the admins can do.
There is about 8 hours of effort to that went to find and fix all the
issues, I'd like to make that available to whoever may need the 4.4 version of
mongodb. I didn't think I'd ever need it, but it is the last version that
wasn't built requiring avx - so it is useful if you need it for those cases or
need it in a VM, etc..
(note: some parts of a 3rd party package included along with the source
will need a significant 'type' change to suppress the char8_t -Wc++20-compat
type warning, but that's just something for the future, and there is one more
-Wredundant-move I need to fix in src/mongo/db/matcher/expression_array.h that
somehow got missed in the hundreds of thousands of lines of output)
I've tried posting to aur-general, but my posts do not ever make it to the
list. I don't mind picking up the maintainer role, but am hesitant to get
caught be another large boost deprecation/removal during a busy week and not
have time to devote to it. Is a one-shot update something that can be done for
this package without becoming the maintainer?
