https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296972 Bug ID: 296972 Summary: pkg(8) memory usage is "too damn high" Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: pprocacci@gmail.com pkg(8) memory usage seems quite excessive: 89739 root 1 75 -20 10G 3251M pfault 0 0:06 0.00% pkg %pkg install feh <-- snip ---> Fetching data: 100% 539 MiB 21.7 MB/s 00:26 DBG(1)[83226]> PkgRepo: extracting data of repo FreeBSD-ports DBG(1)[83817]> PkgRepo: extracting signature of repo in a sandbox Killed # pkg info | wc -l 325 Running this on a VM w/ 4 gigs of memory. I could imagine software in the ports tree that need compiling gobbling up a ton of memory but a package manager -- doesn't seem right. I mean ... this operation should a) download b) extract and c) install the package. Perhaps make record in the sqlite database, but ~4G (my limit) to do these operations is absolutely crazy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
