Hello! it is mandatory to manually import the gpg key of the aide developer.
  • You should be able to do it by issuing the command: gpg --recv-keys 2BBBD30FAAB29B3253BCFBA6F6947DAB68E7B931

Compare the output to the one in this github page:https://github.com/aide/aide it should be something along the lines of:

A few more notes on this package:

  • The current version, 0.17.3, needs a few config tweaks (database_in instead of database, log_level and report_level instad of verbose).
  • It creates legacy logs -> it should have an entry in /etc/logrotate.d/.
  • It would be nice to have a few systemd units (.service and .timer) for regular maintenance and checks. Also, the database files need to be "rotated" after each run etc. The WiKi suggests using cron, but that's an outdated idea compared to systemd timers.
  • The cron idea is in fact also wrong, because it updates the checksums unconditionally. Automated regular maintenance (a systemd timer) should only run and log aide -C, not aide -u.
    • A Pacman hook (or the like) should run aide -u after updates. This could (and most likely should) be a systemd .service (but not a systemd .timer), so that it can be restarted in the background by Pacman after updates. This would have quite a few advantages:
      • aide -u would run automatically at the right time.
      • Pacman wouldn't need to block and wait for aide -u after an update.
      • However, if a reboot was to follow, aide -u would be waited for properly.
      • Another Pacman update started closely afterwards would block and wait for the previous aide -u correctly before starting a new one in the background (hence a restart instead of just a start).

Hello kitterhuff,

First off, thank you very much for stepping up to maintain this very important package.

The current PKGBUILD does not build. It might have worked in your specific setup, but you clearly added the 2 new systemd files incorrectly, which you tried to work around in the package function. Here is a patch that corrects this addition. Please apply this ASAP as it does not build now.

Again, thank you for looking after this.

Kind Regards,

Gábor

Hi, an error for compilation: error PGP no verified :/ Regards.

@kitterhuff you must update SRCINFO to trigger a proper update. Currently, it is not downloading the files you added after publishing 0.17.4-2 because -3 was never up.

Running into an issue when installing this.

Modifying the PKGBUILD by commenting out the first three lines in package() and adding the unit files to source and sha256sums fixes the build errors.

Everything should be back to a functioning condition. I apologize for the mismanagement of this package.
