Source: openssh
Version: 6.0p1-3
Severity: important
Hi!
While building src:openssh, I noticed unusually high CPU load and
1517 pts/1 S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/make -C build-deb -j 2 ASKPASS_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass
and later, in the build logs as they scrolled past:
[…]
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/openssh-6.0p1/build-deb'
/usr/bin/make -C build-udeb -j 2 ASKPASS_PROGRAM='/usr/bin/ssh-askpass' ssh scp sftp sshd ssh-keygen
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/openssh-6.0p1/build-udeb'
[…]
And this despite me *not* having the “parallel” keyword set
in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
I consider this a Policy violation, but as it only affects
buildds, have refrained from considering it release critical,
though this is only as we’re in deep freeze.
My rationale behind this reading of Policy is thus:
(a) I might be on a ressource-constrained machine, or one
where running multiple threads is unstable (I think
some of the mips64 machines fall into that category,
and kfreebsd-* long used to). Building with two threads
may use more than twice the CPU and RAM than linear
building. (In my experience, the positive effects of
disc I/O related things and .text sharing are rather
neglegible, especially during package builds which
tend to cluster related tasks.)
(b) Even on an 8-core 64GiB-RAM monster, if I do not specify
parallel or parallel=\d in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, a package
has absolutely no business using more than one thread of
execution at a given time because I might want to use the
machine otherwise and/or run multiple builds in parallel,
scheduling CPU and RAM usage myself.
Please refrain from adding the -j option to gmake from your
next upload onwards unless parallel is given (Policy §4.9.1).
Thanks!

Description:
openssh-client - secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
openssh-client-udeb - secure shell client for the Debian installer (udeb)
openssh-server - secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines
openssh-server-udeb - secure shell server for the Debian installer (udeb)

ssh-krb5 - secure shell client and server (transitional package)
Closes: 694282
Changes:
openssh (1:6.1p1-2) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Use xz compression for binary packages.
* Merge from Ubuntu:
- Add support for registering ConsoleKit sessions on login. (This is
currently enabled only when building for Ubuntu.)
- Drop openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra to Suggests. It's
been long enough since the relevant vulnerability that we shouldn't
need these installed by default nowadays.
- Add an Upstart job (not currently used by default in Debian).
- Add mention of ssh-keygen in ssh connect warning (Scott Moser).
- Install apport hooks.
* Only build with -j if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=* is used (closes:
#694282).
