Hello,
When I run Jami in the GNU system installed with Guix, I see that its process called ".gnome-ring-rea" starts using around 36 MiB, but then increases over time at slow pace. After some hours, I notice it reaches 1 GiB of memory usage. I have to finalize the process to release memory.
This happens even when you are not doing anything in the application.
## Steps to reproduce (using GNOME)
1. $ guix install jami-client-gnome
2. Press Alt+F2 and run "ring.cx"
[2.1 Create a Jami account]
3. Press Alt+F2 and run "gnome-system-monitor"
4. Click on "Processes"
5. Locate the ".gnome-ring-rea" process
6. Observe the "Memory" usage for a few hours
I don't know if step 2.1 is necessary, but I already had an account created when I noticed the problem for the first time.
## System information
```

Do you think it’s a Guix-specific issue?
I would expect it to not be Guix-specific. Could you report the issue
upstream?
Thanks,

Oh, I think one of my messages about this issue didn't arrived. The leak in the version available in Guix is known and fixed upstream.
I thought that maybe this bug report could be used as a reminder to update the package definition of Jami in Guix to a version that fixes the leak?

Nice. Should we apply their patch, or upgrade our package?

I think it’s better if the bug report is actionable.
Thanks,

Hmm, I'm really ignorant about what would be best. As a desktop user, I think anything that allows me to install and use Jami without leaks.

Sorry, Ludo, I don't understand what actionable means in this context.

What I mean is that the bug should highlight something we, Guix people,
can do about it. If it were reporting a purely upstream issue, there’s
little we can do on our side, apart from upgrading or applying fixes
available upstream.
I hope that makes sense!
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I'm closing this issue because the package the report was filed against was removed from Guix:
gnu: jami-client-gnome: Remove deprecated package.
commit 8551bc64e4322080ef07b5009f4d46229df8d6f3
Date: Sun Jul 12 18:00:46 2020 +0200
Also, there is a new package for Jami that I tried out:
Guix System 97e98e2
Jami 20200710.1.6bd18d2
I followed the steps below to try reproduce the issue with this new version and I could not see any memory leak.
1. $ guix install jami
2. Press Alt+F2 and run "jami"
2.1. Create a Jami account
3. Press Alt+F2 and run "gnome-system-monitor"
4. Click on "Processes"
5. Locate the "jami" process
6. Observe the "Memory" use for a few hours
Problem solved.
