ArangoDB on Arch Linux

This is a package for building ArangoDB on Arch Linux. It is available via the Arch User Repositories (AUR) and can be installed with

yaourt -S arangodb

If you have makepkg installed you can clone this repo and build it with:

git clone https://github.com/sleepycat/arangodb_arch.git
cd arangodb_arch
makepkg
# or assuming you have a gpg key:
makepkg --sign

This should compile ArangoDB using all available processor cores and produce a working package. You can install the package with:

# install the arangodb package from the current folder:
sudo pacman -U arangodb-3.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

This package has fast build times, uses the new cmake build system and drops unnecessary dependencies like ICU.

Things to explore in the future:

• Incorporate relevant systemd security options
• Include a selinux/apparmour profile by default
• Signing the package
• Encouraging Arango to sign their releases
