Hello, Gentoo. I'm having problems building rust.
I build everything in a ram disk, and last night my 13 Gb ram disk proved too small to build rust in. So I increased its size to 14 Gb, and tried again this evening. Same result. The pre-check on the disk size gave an OK both times, and both runs lasted about 45 minutes before running out of space. Help! What am I supposed to do? I've got 16 Gb RAM (I'm _not_ going to use the word "only" here), and wondering just how big a chunk a ram disk can take out of that before the machine siezes up altogether. But if I increase the ram disk to 15 Gb, even assuming it'd work, it's only going to be a small number of releases before the clever people at rust increase their bloat even more. I know I could plump for the -bin package. Maybe I should. But before I do that, is it possible to redirect this one ebuild away from /var/tmp/portage (my ram disk) without disturbing the other builds? If so, how would I do this (or where should I look for documentation)? Thanks for the help! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
