I'm having fun enabling "test" in FEATURES on my gentoo-desktop. One interesting failure, that brings to mind build failures I have had in the past:
Building sys-apps/mlocate-0.26-r2, I get 43: updatedb: Very deep hierarchy FAILED (updatedb.at:261) Trying to reproduce, as root I do "make check" in the work/mlocate-0.26/ , and the test passes. 43: updatedb: Very deep hierarchy ok I'd really like to get to the bottom of this, as I believe it must have the same root-cause as issues I have had compiling large packages such as firefox. Re-running both the emerge and the make check, I get the same results. emerge fails, make check succeeds. I made a local copy of the ebuild and inserted a "ulimit -a" in pre_src_test. ulimit from root-shell: # ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 59958 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 16384 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 10000 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited ulimit from emerge: >>> Source compiled. core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 59958 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 16384 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 9788 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 10000 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited >>> Test phase: sys-apps/mlocate-0.26-r2 I have plenty of space in my portage temp directory (/pt): # df -hT ./ Filsystem Type Størrelse Brukt Tilgj.
