Failed to upgrade subversion-1.9.7

[McQ]

Had a failure today when upgrading to subversion-1.9.7:

hmod 755 blib/arch/auto/SVN/_Wc/_Wc.so
"/usr/bin/perl" -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e 'cp_nonempty' -- _Wc.bs blib/arch/auto/SVN/_Wc/_Wc.bs 644
Manifying 8 pod documents
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.7/work/subversion-1.9.7/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.7/work/subversion-1.9.7/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native'
Makefile:850: recipe for target 'swig-pl' failed
make: *** [swig-pl] Error 2
 * ERROR: dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.7::dev-kit failed (compile phase):
 *   emake fail

 

So I changed in /etc/portage/make.conf:

(-)MAKEOPTS="-j5"
(+)MAKEOPTS="-j1"

And then subversion package compiled without any issue. 

 

Should I just leave make.conf as is or switch back to  MAKEOPTS="-j5" ?

 

I really don't know if the difference is worth maintaining for system-wide.

[Sandro]

The "Default" is "-j2" (the rule is n? threads + 1)

I think is better to have MAKEOPTS="-j5" in /etc/make.conf and if you got errors, to try for example

# MAKEOPTS="-j1" bla_bla_bla.version

But in your case i will make a serious ramt3est.

 

Cause it is impossible to have all these errors.

 

Or if You have overclocked the system to return to "default".

 

If your system isn't overclocked .... i think that You can have some trouble with rams.

 

Funtoo have the memtestX86; but you can use other DVD/CD ... for example the "SysrescueCD".

[McQ]

Thanks for the tip! System is not overclocked and the memtest found no errors. 

 

It must just be a package-specific issue. 

 

I'll go back to MAKEOPTS="-j5" in make.conf.

McQ:

 

Another thing is about the temoperatures ..... when you use the Jobserver (Makeops) = -j5, take a look about cpu temperatures, for example in a terminal:

$ watch sensors

To install it:

# emerge lm_sensors
# sensors-detect
# rc-update add lm_sensors default
# openrc

(I wish to be not too pedantic :D otherwise i must use "# USE="-pedantic emerge -e sandro" :D :D :D

 

Ciao :)

Haha! I like it --- thanks. i3 CPU is at 66? C in sunny Phoenix with a 140 mm USB Fan venting the laptop.

McQ Also i like your friendship :) ....

sorry ... i've not other ideas about the reason related to the failure using the "Full Jobserver" :|
