Packman has it. The issues I had with it as a dependency -- is it may or may 
not remain available. The AUR package published by polarean just went away, 
leaving all packages that depend on it in a lurch.

openSUSE doesn't package it for the same reasons Arch doesn't package it and 
why it is in Packman and AUR.

Given my experience with it, I always wondered why anyone would make it a 
dependency when MariaDB, PostgreSQL, DB or SQLite would suffice and not have 
the same issues.

There is nothing wrong with mongodb itself, it's just the licensing and 
availability baggage that I see as a drawback.
