[php-maint] Bug#375070: php-pear: pecl memory limit too low

[Christopher Seufert]

Package: php-pear
Version: 5.1.4-0.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


when attemping to install APC using pecl, I get the following error

# pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.0.10.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.0.10.tgz (85,818 bytes)
.....................done: 85,818 bytes

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 143 bytes) in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Builder.php on line 118

So I poked around in /usr/bin/pecl

and altered this line:
exec $PHP -C -n -q $INCARG -d output_buffering=1 -d safe_mode=0 $INCDIR/peclcmd.php "$@"

to look like this:
exec $PHP -C -n -q $INCARG -d output_buffering=1 -d safe_mode=0 -d memory_limit=24M $INCDIR/peclcmd.php "$@"

I had similar problems with pear install , while trying to build a package for phpdocumentor. Perhaps the increased memory_limit could be applied to /usr/bin/pear as well.
