I'm looking to setup a FOSSology instance for the gNewSense GNU+Linux distro. I was... shocked... shall i say, when i heard the memory requirement: A fossology db for their upcoming release (version 3.0, code-named metad) would be about 8GB.
Since it'll be a multi-user installation with different people working on simultaneously working on different aspects, will FOSSology try to hold the entire database in memory? If so I need to get a different machine as the one I was planning to use maxes out at 8GB of RAM and I'd like something that can be used without swapping. Plus I read somewhere that FOSSology itself needs ~2GB ram iirc to run well so I should be adding this on top of the database requirement? _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list [email protected] http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
