Package: src:libtecla Version: 1.6.1-5 Severity: critical Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Hi! I'm afraid that libtecla FTBFS in an extremely unpleasant way, killing the buildd machine unless you somehow limit memory available to the build (AFAIK none of popular package build tools has this capability). A build attempt goes: * dh_auto_clean * an endless recursion of 'make' processes, until pids are exhausted. By default on linux, there's 32k available pids. * if there's at least 15GB memory+swap, the build succeeds! No error is returned that fork failed, it just unwinds and continues. * otherwise, the OOM killer starts shooting processes, with each make taking only very little space thus being unlikely to be selected. This ends up with the machine the buildd is running out scoured clean of any bookkeeping processes, leaving ony libtecla makes... -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 3.8.13.23 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
