Since lzma has a hard memory limit of 40% of physical memory, and sandbox-2.2.tar.lzma needs 65M to extract, users with <162.5M physical memory can't unpack it. Nearly identical scenario to bug #284602, dropping from -9 to -6 fixed it there (without a noticeable change to the tarball size). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =sys-apps/sandbox-2.2 Actual Results: lzma -dc /usr/portage/distfiles/sandbox-2.2.tar.lzma | tar xf - --no-same-owner lzma: /usr/portage/distfiles/sandbox-2.2.tar.lzma: Memory usage limit reached lzma: Limit was 45 MiB, but 65 MiB would have been needed tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Expected Results: extract like normal
automake doesnt have a way of controlling it, so i had to hack it into the build system. levels 6-9 produce the same compression sizes, so default 6 is fine. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sandbox.git;a=commitdiff;h=e1cc47d12dfda65e4586317115c293510beff7ee
Hey Mike, can you push out a 2.2.1 for this or something so those of us with the low memory systems can install sandbox? Maybe I'm just hitting a bad mirror or something, but I'm still getting the old 2.2 lzmaball that requires too much memory to install.
