emBee -- I had this fixed on my copy of it (which, sadly, was lost in a crash).
The problem is that the xmlCache is being instantiated multiple times. That thing chews up memory, and the current design (last I checked) still creates multiple ones. Making it a singleton (i.e. creating it once and then caching it for subsequent uses) fixed the massive memory issues in PK). --sgp On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 4:45 AM, Martin Bähr < mba...@email.archlab.tuwien.ac.at> wrote: > hi, > > andres has been working on trying to find the packagekit memory leak > today. it looked like he had it but on my system it still uses to much > memory > > even on my moderate update set (40 jobs) the old and new packagekit died > with lack of memory. both allocate more than 500MB > > my memory looks like this: > $ free > total used free shared buffers cached > Mem: 2047116 1157828 889288 0 59784 745888 > -/+ buffers/cache: 352156 1694960 > Swap: 0 0 0 > > no swap, but 2GB should still be plenty, the machine is not doing anything > else.
