So currently all of the armel PPA buildds that are in auto-mode on production launchpad are using qemu-arm-static to run their build chroots.
On staging I saw a dramatic decrease in the number of OOM-type failures and catastrophic mmap() failures, with a slight uptick in sig11s (on different packages, and hard to reproduce via re-builds). We decided it was Good Enough For Now and moved things into production. Probably the best way to stress-test this now would be to run a bunch of armel PPA builds through production launchpad (say, a precise main rebuild or something) and examine the build failures. We definitely felt that this patch gave a worthwhile improvement over the old behavior. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906922 Title: qemu-arm-static chroots give copious memory errors when setting up java build dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu-linaro/+bug/906922/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
