Package: gpgme1.0 Version: 1.8.0-3 Hello dkg et al.
I have a cron job monitoring "Committed_AS" in /proc/meminfo every time my autobuilders are running, that way I know how much memory each package requires. Well, building gpgme1.0 allocates 100 GB, 200 GB and sometimes 500 GB. To see how this could be a problem, take a machine with a lot of memory, say, 64 GB of RAM, which btw is more than three times the amount required to build any other Debian package, and disable memory overcommiting by creating /etc/sysctl.d/10-no-overcommit.conf with this contents: vm.overcommit_ratio = 100 vm.overcommit_memory = 2 Then write "sysctl --system" to load those values. Then try to build this package in such machine, and it will fail. I have detected only one other package with a problem like this. If you are curious: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848589 Every other package which I tried builds fine with only 20 GB of RAM, so this is clearly an anomaly. Thanks.
