Out of memory crash of 3000 routes in BGP

Wed Oct 12 21:16:51 CEST 2016

I'd like to, but sorry I can't really.

I can give you a lot of pointers though - and it's good to learn something
about the package management :)

First, get yourself a host that is the same debian or ubuntu version that
you want to deploy the package on, and use it to build the package. Then
create a directory where you want to do the build and cd in, preferably not
as root.

# setup #

sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essential dpkg-dev quilt

cat << END > ~/.quiltrc
> export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
> export QUILT_NO_DIFF_INDEX=1
> export QUILT_NO_DIFF_TIMESTAMPS=1
> export QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab"
> export QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--color=auto"
> END

sudo apt-get build-dep bird

# get source #

apt-get source bird

# Apply patch #

cd bird-1.6.2

quilt new 1000-fixed-memory-bloating-on-kernel-merge-paths-together.patch
quilt add nest/rt-table.c
quilt refresh
quilt header -e # enter a description of the patch
quilt push
quilt refresh

# Bump version with local name #

dch -l companyname # or some other name - enter into as appropriate and
save the file

# Build the package #

dpkg-buildpackage -tc

# That's it! #
cd ..

ls -al  # you should see some packages if it worked.

Hope that helps..

Cheers,
Just
