Package: haskell-hxt-relaxng Version: 9.1.4-4 Tags: sid patch Severity: important Justification: FTBFS User: debian-m...@lists.debian.org Usertags: mips-patch
Packge haskell-hxt-relaxng FTBFS mips and mipsel with an error: virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory. https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=haskell-hxt-relaxng&ver=9.1.4-4&arch=mipsel&suite=sid https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=haskell-hxt-relaxng&ver=9.1.4-4%2Bb1&arch=mips&suite=sid Some packages, like haskell-hxt-relaxng, needs a lot of memory during compilation. Unfortunately, this amount of memory is not available on all platforms, and error: "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory." could appear. In this case possible solution could be using ggc-min-expand. This parameter specifies the minimum percentage by which the garbage collector’s heap should be allowed to expand between collections. Tuning this may improve compilation speed; it has no effect on code generation.

With this patch I was able to successfully built haskell-hxt-relaxng for both mips and mipsel. Could you please consider including this patch? Regards, Dejan
