Hi
During my now ongoing compilation of ALL packages on an x86 machine* I
ran into a couple of issues:
1) 2 builds ran out of memory (qt 5.5.1 and webgtk)
2) diskspace consumption is larger than I expected
3) It takes weeks to complete it seems (after 8 days so far <50% done)
*I have P4 2 core 3,2GHz, 1GB ram, 1GB swap and 40GB partition
I heard from fps (after partitioning) that his x86_64 builds size about
70GB in total.
cheers

I think WebKit typically requires 4G+ of RAM.

Sounds like a good estimate (I don’t have any better figure actually
;-)).

Also, some packages use huge amounts of disk space while building. For
example, I had to restart a libreoffice build after ~5 hours because it
didn't fit in my 3 GiB /tmp.
