Hello, it would be useful to allow users to include swap space for memory estimation. Sometimes this is the only way to build package without cross-compiling. So I propose something like: CHECKREQS_MEMORY_USE_SWAP="yes|no" which can be set on command line, in make.conf or in per-package env setup. This option should be disabled by default, of course.
Similar issue with bug #579658 where would be useful to skip CHECKREQS_MEMORY
Created attachment 576460 [details, diff] Patch This patch checks for swap unconditionally. If usage of swap appears to be needed, then a warning is printed.
