usr.sbin/sysinstall main.c
Log:
The limit on datasize in the install environment is 128M. That's a bit
too small for today's standards. While loading packages sysinstall
blows past this by a LOT but I think (hope...) that's caused by other
bugs. I'll look more into why sysinstall's memory use has gotten so
out of control as it loads packages but independent of that there really
is no reason to leave the limits on datasize and stacksize in place. And
they can cause problems for some of the things "modern packages" might
be doing via pkg_add which gets run by sysinstall and would inherit the
limits.
Another insta-MFC probably coming, this is holding up 6.3-RC2. Sysinstall's
memory use is so out of control it blows past the current limit before it
finishes loading either of the meta-packages kde or gnome...
