Comment (by robe):

 debbie is still having some issues but doing better.

 The killed process errors were a result of some memory thing.
 I first wound her back to March 13th backup to rule out any updates done
 since to her.  that did not help or perhaps that was not far back enough.

 Then upgraded her from 4GB to 8GB ram and that didn't help.

 I then had them move her to another physical cluster to rule out hardware.
 And that helped a bit, but was still getting kill errors of the form:

 Then I checked

 free and noticed she had no swap space.

 So I created a small one and then kept on increasing it - each increase
 reduced the number of kill messages.

 I'm now trying 4GB (as the docos weren't building and concave_hull_hard
 was still crashing with 2GB)
 The make dist that does the build doc unfortunately seems to be dying
 still with :


 {{{
 12:28:00 libtoolize: Consider adding '-I macros' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in
 Makefile.am.
 12:28:00 * Running /usr/bin/aclocal (1.16.1)
 12:28:02 Killed
 12:28:02
 12:28:02   Something went wrong, giving up!
 }}}



 {{{
 swapoff -a
 fallocate -l 4G /swap
 chmod 0600 /swap
 mkswap /swap
 swapon /swap

 #then in /etc/fstab
 /swap swap swap defaults 0 0
 }}}


 I'm also in the middle of building a lxd new containerized debbie which I
 currently have installed with jenkins and copied over the GEOS jobs and
 was able to run those with latest jenkins.

 Once I have all that running and moved over the website, I'll flip to an
 18.04 LTS 8gB ubuntu with a containerized debbie.
