Package: ruby-pygments.rb Version: 0.6.3-2 Severity: important Control: affects -1 src:asciidoctor src:weechat X-Debbugs-CC: weec...@packages.debian.org
Hi, weechat recently FTBFS due to asciidoctor dying: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=weechat&arch=mips64el&ver=1.9.1-1&stamp=1506204287&raw=0 This happens because: - The RLIMIT_NOFILE hard limit is set to a large value (eg 1048576). - On startup, ruby-pygments's mentos.py attempts to close all files. - Since RLIMIT_NOFILE is large, it will attempt to close 1 million file descriptors. - The mips64el buildds are not powerful enough to complete this in the timeout time set in popen.rb (default 8 seconds). - The pygments call fails, returns nil, and causes asciidoctor to crash. I can occasionally reproduce this on an amd64 machine, but only under heavy load (most of the time it's fast enough). I think either the number of files to be closed should be limited, or the piece of code which closes files should be removed altogether. Thanks, James
