Bug 82491 – xorg-x11 runs out of build space (2.2G still not enough)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2005-02-18 12:54:27 UTC]

On an old PII-333mhz laptop (Gateway Solo 2500), I keep running out of space, even when I start with 2.2G free.  It just failed again, and here is the evidence of hogging:

# du -skh /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2/
2.5G	/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2/

This simply CAN'T be normal behavior, can it?  I'm going to attach a log of the last lines of the emerge, per spyderous' request.

Created attachment 51546 [details]
last bits of emerge output

I don't see anything weird here, but you might.  *shrug*

Suppose I could assign to whole x11 herd, instead of just spyderous.

emerge info please

Drop USE=debug for xorg-x11 -- that's why.

Reopen if that's not the case.

[Comment 6 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2005-02-19 10:48:09 UTC]

Yes it installs with plenty of available space now.

Thanks for the Clue-by-4
