Bug#1035941: linux-image-amd64: too much space needed to build

[Claude Heiland-Allen <claude@mathr.co.uk>]

Package: linux-image-amd64
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: claude@mathr.co.uk

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to build locally-patched kernel debs:

sudo apt build-dep linux-image-6.1.0-8-amd64-unsigned
apt source linux-image-6.1.0-8-amd64-unsigned
cd linux-6.1.25
# make changes to source code
debuild -i -us -uc -b

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I ran out of disk space.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I freed up more space, but even with 53GB available it ran out.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The build process to use a reasonable amount of space,
perhaps by cleaning up artifacts after each output deb
before starting to build the next output deb.

Documentation of the required amount of disk space would be nice.

Thanks for your work on this package,


Claude
