Bug#165732: [patch] pool size is too small
tags 165732 + patch
severity 165732 important
thanks
As has been stated, too small pool size is making default Tetex install
to be very limited.
Any efforts to circumvent this by a documentation package tends to
back-fire by receiving FTBFS RC bug from Junichi or failing to build on
stable DDP web site. (Now I have ifdef in Makefile. See Bug#167049)
I think export TEXMFCNF= trick is bad since when you release new TEX, it
tends to break. If fixed I will make more documentation to make PDF and
PS. Most Debian documentation are without PS due to this problem. (I
saw some include already build ones in source tree. That's a hack if
tou have tex/sgml source.)
Usable default is a GOOD thing. Let make all sizes at least 4 times.
memory is cheap. Nobody run TEX in i486 :)
If you are making another release for Sarge into unstable, please
consider followings:
Please add /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90larger-pool from tetex-extra or
tetex-base with following contents.
---
% everything multiplied by 4 :) More space.
% Max number of characters in all strings, including all error messages,
% help texts, font names, control sequences. These values apply to TeX and MP.
pool_size.context = 3000000
pool_size = 500000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
string_vacancies.context = 180000
string_vacancies = 100000
% Maximum number of strings.
max_strings.context = 220000
max_strings = 60000
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free.context = 190000
pool_free = 20000
