Description David Walser 2020-12-08 04:20:28 CET
I have been trying for days to get kdelibs4 and kdebase4-runtime to build (fixing hopefully crashing and build errors).  The last time I got successfully kdebase4-runtime to build, it did not take nearly as long, but now it takes 10+ hours and the build system always kills it.
Comment 1 Pascal Terjan 2020-12-10 12:14:43 CET
Those packages are broken

meinproc4 (from kdelibs4-core) takes 100% cpu for many hours until the build gets finally killed.

The timeout is working as expected to prevent such packages to stay in that state forever

I wonder if that's related to the crashes reported in Cauldron with KDE4 apps.  One of the things I wanted to try to do to fix that was rebuild kdelibs4, but it won't let me do that either.  Do we have a chicken and egg problem, do we need some sort of bootstrap build, or do we need to disable something?
Comment 3 Pascal Terjan 2020-12-10 14:25:20 CET
The problem happens while working on the documentation, so disabling the docs would probably help.
Comment 4 David Walser 2020-12-10 14:26:20 CET
Ok, hopefully David and Nicolas can help with that.
Comment 5 David Walser 2020-12-16 03:56:12 CET
Note to self, hopefully once docs are disabled, kdebase4-runtime will build.

References I used to hopefully fix it:

Comment 6 David Walser 2020-12-23 17:47:26 CET
kdelibs4 and kdebase4-runtime packages rebuilt without docs.  Would still be good to find out what's causing doc builds to infinite loop, there may be a bug still lurking that's affecting other things.  Closing this though.
