[11:29] <tsmithe> Is there someone i can talk to about (ppa) builds and memory usage? This isn't immediately related to motu, but I hope the package will eventually be in universe (probably via Debian, though)
[11:33] <mitya57> !ask | tsmithe
[11:34] <tsmithe> mitya57, thanks -- but I didn't know if this was the right channel!
[11:35] <mitya57> Well, ask it and we'll see if it's the right channel :)
[11:37] <tsmithe> my question is: can someone look and see if my build is using / failing because of excessive memory -- the i386 build completed in 23 minutes, but the amd64 build died with no specific error after 2.5 hours. i've retried it and it seems to be doing the same. on my machine, in a pbuilder, the build succeeds, but eats around 4gb of ram. i think that might have something to do with it.
[11:38] <tsmithe> of course, having retried the build, the old log is not available. but the machine it's currently building on is wani10. and the log is at https://launchpad.net/~tsmithe/+archive/pyviennacl/+build/5336810
[11:40] <mitya57> let me look
[11:40] <tsmithe> thanks
[11:53] <mitya57> (sorry, had to reboot)
[11:53] <mitya57> well, I have i386, and it seems to build fine here
[11:53] <tsmithe> np
[11:53]  * mitya57 looks at the package more deeply
[11:54] <tsmithe> yeah. the trouble seems to be, i think, on amd64, because of the extra memory requirements
[11:54] <mitya57> the package seems small enough, I don't think it's memory related
[11:55] <mitya57> i.e. webkit or pypy build fine on LP, while they are 100 times bigger
[11:55] <tsmithe> yeah, it's because _viennacl.cpp brings in a header-only library (viennacl), and has a load of macros for different types. the source is small, but it expands out massively
[11:56] <tsmithe> (on my machine, cc1plus uses around 3.8-3.9 gb of ram)
[11:57] <tsmithe> webkit or pypy might not have any single files that have that property..
[11:57] <tsmithe> (i intend to split the source up in the long run, but i hoped not to have to do it for this first release)
[11:58] <mitya57-mobile> Bah, that package made my machine hang again :)
[11:58] <tsmithe> my package?!
[11:59] <mitya57-mobile> The build :)
[11:59] <mitya57-mobile> Well, I think you need some Launchpad admin (I.e. wgrant), but probably tomorrow will be a better day for that
[12:00] <tsmithe> ok. thanks, mitya57-mobile
[12:00] <tsmithe> is there a channel where they congregate specifically, or is here ok?
[12:00] <mitya57-mobile> #launchpad should be a better place
[12:01] <tsmithe> thanks. i'll stay in this channel, in case anyone sees my plight and is piqued
[12:04] <mitya57-mobile> Great!
