Creating a lavinmq package

Hi,

I'm trying to create a package for lavinmq on AUR, lavinmq is a message broker (like rabbitmq) written in Crystal

In fact it's already created at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lavinmq however one of the lavinmq developers pointed me out that the package has some problems:

Lavinmq requires libgc (core/gc package) to be compiled with --enable-large-config for peformance reasons but libgc package from ArchLinux isn't compiled with this flag.

So, what's the better way to deal with this issue? Is it possible to add --enable-large-config to gc package?

Lavinmq people distribute alpine docker images that has its own version of libgc statically linked. In AUR I could create a lavinmq-bin package that just fetches this binary from the official docker image, is this the only way out?

Re: Creating a lavinmq package

Create a gc-large-config package based on the repo gc package .

Set it to provide & conflict gc .

Test if gc-large-config is usable by all repo packages that require gc .
