Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal The pygalmesh build has relatively high memory requirements. This is common with other packages using CGAL (e.g. mshr) and is related to the provisioning of the CGAL package as header-only. Consequently pygalmsh does not build on all arches (the same is true of mshr).
Previously pygalmesh built on armhf. Now with pygalmesh 0.7.1, it no longer builds on armhf. The error message is virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory This now puts armhf in the same situation as mipsel, which has never built pygalmesh. Memory requirements have already been reduced by compiling with -g0. I don't think there is anything more we can reasonably do for armhf. CGAL itself does not build on armel and several minor arches. It's a delicate package with strange memory requirements. I think the best action is to just remove pygalmesh from armhf and handle it as "never built", same as mipsel. This will enable the package to migrate to testing for the other arches. I'm not certain, does it also need to be removed from testing, or will it get removed from there automatically?
