Source: keyutils Version: 1.5.5-4 Severity: important Hi,
your package builds like this: […] dh_builddeb -- -Zxz -z9 […] dpkg-source: info: using options from keyutils-1.5.5/debian/source/options: --compression=xz --compression-level=9 […] That’s abuse of xz compression, because its -9 option… • imposes use of up to 674 MiB of RAM on the buildd, • requires no less than 65 MiB RAM upon decompression, • and makes only sense if the to-be-compressed data is at least 64 MiB in size, usually much larger. Please revert to using at most xz -6, i.e. the default. This is especially important as keyutils is prio standard and thus the second issue from above makes it very hard on low-memory targets; this weighs much more than the buildd issue IMHO (since even our m68k boxen _can_ stem that weight even if not easily, and the CPU overhead is also definitely not neglegible). b8350b54184ec32260d7e6de9f9f283e 33686 admin optional keyutils_1.5.5-4_m68k.deb 85234dcef67a9675b9b5b0ce387cb820 45966 debug extra keyutils-dbg_1.5.5-4_m68k.deb f37caa767baf653beb37956e884931d4 7566 libs standard libkeyutils1_1.5.5-4_m68k.deb 51b2791699a38389a1232b1a01932b37 28300 libdevel optional libkeyutils-dev_1.5.5-4_m68k.deb You could even go with xz -2e there (-Zxz -z2 -Sextreme), which lowers the dictionary size and CPU effort but makes compression more efficient (at zero decompression cost), though is very hard on the CPU at build time. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: m68k Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-atari Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh-static -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
