>Number: 50974 >Category: ports >Synopsis: XFree86-4 takes unexpectedly much disk space to build >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-ports-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Apr 15 04:10:15 PDT 2003 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Yar Tikhiy >Release: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE i386 >Organization: Moscow State University >Environment: 4.8-RELEASE XFree86-4 4.3.0,1 >Description: Installing the meta-port XFree86-4 leads to untarring the huge XFree86 distribution multiple times, one per each XFree86-foo sub-port. This takes unexpectedly enormous disk space. >How-To-Repeat: Do a "make install" for this port on a disk with as little free space as 2Gb. >Fix: While there doesn't seem to be an easy way to overcome this problem in the existing ports framework, it would be better if a user were warned, e.g., by a heading message. The user may be as well advised to install all the dependencies incrementally if he/she doesn't have enough free disk space. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
