Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3 Severity: important The reporting framework consumes a rather substantial amount of memory.
The harness process itself hogs ~1GB of RAM. This in itself is not concerning. However, it retains this usage even while running lintian and html_reports. For the former, it "just" needs the current "work queue" in memory. For the latter, it should not need any memory worth mentioning. The html_reports process itself consumes up to 2GB while processing templates. It is possible that there is nothing we can do about that as there *is* a lot of data in play. But even then, we can free it as soon as possible (so we do not keep it while running gnuplot at the end of the run). Currently, when harness -i runs, the gnuplot process seems to die for "no apparent" reason. I suspect it is OOM'ed though harness + html_reports "only" consumes 65-70%ish of the memory available and gnuplot seems fairly cheap memory-wise in comparison. When running harness -r alone, harness skips parts of the code that makes it consume memory and that seems to be suffient to making html_reports + gnuplot terminate successfully. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
