Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.


Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2021/10/23/freedict_2021.01.05-3_unstable.log

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

If you reassign this bug to another package, please marking it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Hi

Due to the way the FreeDict stylesheets are written, a lot of memory is used.
Could you provide the amount of RAM that is used for the failed build? If it
is below 16G, could it be increased, somehow?


Thanks
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I use AWS EC2 m5.xlarge instances. so it's 16 GB of RAM. I could use
larger instances, yes. However, the resources requirements for freedict
are a bit unusual. I wonder if they should be documented in a bug
(without release critical severity). Given the time it takes to build
freedict, I might just exclude it from my regular rebuilds.

Yes, please do. I'll upload a version that fixes this issue, i.e. documents it
in the changelog and in a bug. Please let me know if you think it should be
mentioned somewhere else.

Thanks
Sebastian

Hi

The shown output is just a nuisance of espeak while generating phonemes and
merely a warning.

Would it be able to check memory and runtime limits? These packages consume a
lot of RAM and take a lot of time, so the build failure is likely due to
memory limits. That has been an issue in the past.

Thanks
Sebastian
