 |
|
I was wondering about some of the most annoying packages to build and tried this command:
| Code: | atom# grep ERROR.*compile\ /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log|awk '{print $2}'| cut -f1-2 -d- |sort|uniq -c|sort -rn|head
19 sys-devel/llvm
10 sys-devel/gcc
7 media-video/ffmpeg
7 media-sound/audacity
7 dev-lang/perl
6 net-dns/libidn2
5 sys-libs/binutils
4 www-client/firefox
4 sys-devel/gdb
4 dev-libs/nss
|
I think gcc and llvm die a lot because I abort them (^C) when I see that it's not optimally using my machine, but yes I see a lot of ffmpeg random failures along with libidn2, and gdb even. Definitely a lot of firefox build deaths. I don't know why perl showed up here, likewise nss, but they may have been from a long time ago and long forgotten what I had to do to get them to build. Note that this could be any reason from missing header files to running out of disk space, so take with a grain of salt if you don't remember why it died.
Tried on another machine and firefox showed up a lot, plus a bunch of experimental packages. dev-python/docutils also showed up. As it's a newer box, perl and nss don't show up.
Curious which packages people end up having to hand fix due to some unforeseen build problem. Unfortunately the machine that I was most curious of (my server) logrotated the old entries away, so boo... however the latest summary.log had no compile phase errors, which meant it was all hunky dory on the last few merges!

I don't keep a summary.log file. But, for me, most of the times, the problem is either a tmp directory full (on my workstations, /tmp on tmpfs, so I have to update the package.env file, and so on), or an OOM (on my servers, too many jobs, so I have to update the package.env file, and so on).
Theeeeeeen... the winners are :
| Code: | # cat /etc/portage/package.env
app-emulation/virtualbox notmpfs
app-emulation/virtualbox-additions notmpfs
app-office/libreoffice notmpfs
app-text/texlive-core notmpfs
dev-lang/go notmpfs
dev-lang/mono notmpfs
dev-lang/rust notmpfs
dev-lang/spidermonkey notmpfs
dev-libs/boost notmpfs
dev-libs/libsigc++ notmpfs
dev-libs/nss notmpfs
dev-qt/qtwebengine notmpfs
gnome-base/librsvg notmpfs
net-libs/nodejs notmpfs
sys-devel/clang notmpfs
sys-devel/gcc notmpfs
sys-devel/llvm notmpfs
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources notmpfs
sys-kernel/linux-firmware notmpfs
sys-kernel/linux-headers notmpfs
x11-libs/wxGTK notmpfs |
No surprise, except that firefox and thunderbird are not listed anymore, since I switched to -bin versions (my internet bandwidth is a joke). |

The awk freak in me came up with this: | Code: | | awk '/ERROR.*compile / {sub(/-[0-9].*$/,"",$2); pkgs[$2]++} END{for (p in pkgs) print p ": " pkgs[p]}' /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log | sort -k 2 -nr |
... and most packages are from my own repo.  | Code: | games-resources/freedoom: 54
dev-games/eureka: 10
app-arch/bzip2: 6
sys-apps/gentoo-functions: 3
media-sound/pulseaudio: 2 |
... bzip2 and gentoo-functions... What? gentoo-functions is a shell script. Maybe my awkline isn't doing what it should....
But really. I rarely see problems compiling stuff from ::gentoo. Or even from ::guru.

You must have seen firefox die frequently? I can't count the number of times I had to restart firefox build, usually disabling distcc to let it build. But frequently it works quite fine with distcc too...
I don't have much of a repo other than ::gentoo, alas I do have a small /usr/local/portage repo. Yes those die frequently as expected, been experimenting with those, but defintely still have ::gentoo failures during compile albeit some are self-inflicted (like distcc, oom, and aborts). But some do end up giving random include file not found errors, missing files, and such, ... quickly fixed by re-emerging some package, but these are the annoying ones.
