And how would I go about passing that parameter into the mass of tangled Makefiles, python scripts and js files without a pkgsrc patch of some kind? This is part of a weekly automated package run so I don't have a way I can manually intervene if something goes wrong.node has its own ideas of max space to use before garbage collection (heap size), which are, to me, not clearly connected to the underlying system. The option is confusing, e.g to set the heap to 450 MB: --max-old-space-size=450
Up until recently firefox had no nodejs dependency at all. I believe that this was because pkgsrc did some sort of precompute phase and stored the results in a package to avoid it.
