Source: mrtrix3 Version: 3.0.4-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=1" when building the package (for example by passing the -j1 option to dpkg-buildpackage) does not lead to a serial build. Instead, many g++ instances are spawn, probably as many as there are logical cores. See Policy §4.9.1 for more details on the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS variable and the parallel flag. This is a problem for building mrtrix3 on machines with a lot of logical cores but not enough RAM for handling so many g++ processes. I personally experienced such an out-of-memory error on a machine with 32 logical cores and 32GB RAM. It would therefore be useful to support the selection of the number of cores used for building the package. Thanks for your work, -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.debian.org
