Gaim 0.74 has a memory leak in the logging code, this ebuild applies a patch that fixes it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 21614 [details] new ebuild for gaim that applies patch
Created attachment 21615 [details, diff] patch that fixes memory leaks
I believe gaim-0.74-r1 already has this patch. I'll leave it to lostlogic to confirm.
Yes lostlogic had already applied this in gaim-0.74-r1. Thanks though. Closing.
You should at least remove the 0.74.ebuild from the portage ... I'm looking for 1 week what's causing my RAM to be full !!!!!
it doesnt matter, 0.74-r1 has KEYWORDS that override 0.74
Yes if you had done an emerge -up world you should have seen a new version of gaim waiting for you. emerge -l gaim would tell you that we placed the memory leak fix in. I plan on removing a lot of the older ebuilds anyway later on after talking with lostlogic.
