Package: freedict Version: 2021.01.05-3 Severity: minor The FreeDict source package builds the TEI XML source files, representing the dictionary,into compiled dictionaries in the dict format. It uses XSL stylesheets for this. Some of the dictionaries have a considerable complexity (> 150 MB of size) and the stylesheets are known to match in huge depth of the XML syntax tree. This leads to a vast consumption of RAM and slow processing, currently somewhere over 16G of RAM and building times of the whole package of 6-16 h, depending on the machine and the number of parallelism. The more concurrency is used, the higher the RAM requirements will get. This can be only solved by a systematic rewrite of the stylesheets for which help would be appreciated upstream. For the time being, this bug report serves as a reminder on the Debian side that this issue still persists.
