Package: src:libtexttools
Version: 2.0.7-3
Severity: wishlist
The package FTBFS[1] on a particular sparc machine, sompek[2], because
this machine has 16 threads but only 8 GiB physical RAM and presumably
too little paging space. Texttools uses all processors available by
default. The memory requirements of 16 instances of GNAT can exceed
8 GiB. It would be nice if texttools would obey the parallel=n clause
in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, thereby giving the buildd administrators a way to
use fewer processors.
The severity is low because obeying DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is only a
recommendation
and not a requirement of Debian Policy[3].
dh-ada-library now provides a nice way of doing this :)
