[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#816980: julia: FTBFS in testing (signal (11): Segmentation fault)

[Santiago Vila]

severity 816980 serious
thanks

I rented a virtual machine with 16 GB RAM and 16 GB swap.
It failed again. The build log is attached.

While it was working, "top" showed this:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 8453 sanvila   20   0 9209844 504260  66120 R  99.7  6.2   2:42.93 julia
 8677 sanvila   20   0 9002012 272516  62216 R 100.3  3.3   0:54.40 julia
 7954 sanvila   20   0 9105584 163172  56504 S   0.0  2.0   0:09.03 julia

Do I need 27 GB of RAM to build this now?

If not: How much swap do I need, why does julia overcommit so much,
and why this didn't happen in version 0.3.11 or 0.3.12?

Thanks.
