In this case, it was the english (-o is the output) documentation which failed: a2x: ERROR: "dblatex" -t pdf -p "/usr/local/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl" -s "/usr/local/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.sty" -P latex.output.revhistory=0 -P doc.publisher.show=0 -s /wrkdirs/usr/ports/cad/kicad-doc/work/kicad-doc-5.1.4/CMakeSupport/pdf-cover-dblatex.sty -b xetex -p /wrkdirs/usr/ports/cad/kicad-doc/work/kicad-doc-5.1.4/src/eeschema/../../xsl/dblatex-pdf-ru.xsl -o /wrkdirs/usr/ports/cad/kicad-doc/work/.build/src/eeschema/en/eeschema.pdf "/wrkdirs/usr/ports/cad/kicad-doc/work/.build/src/eeschema/en/eeschema.xml" returned non-zero exit status 1 Unfortunately, dblatex seems to be rather brittle and tends to fail under load (reducing poudriere parallelism increases the likelyhood of kicad-doc finishing a lot). If it was only russian, I'd have no qualms just disabling it in this build, but I've seen failures in nearly all languages - including english, as demonstrated above, and once we remove that, this port will be useless for the majority of users (not to mention that english seems to be the reference language of the documentation). Now, if someone could upgrade our tex stack and check if that improves matters... (ENOTIME on my side). I get what you're saying. I'm uploading another log. Didn't change anything. This is with poudriere only compiling one port --- this one. Maybe the port should turn off parallelism? I dunno. Pain that it's always failing. Created attachment 208234 [details]
Another build log with different failure, same sources.
(In reply to dgilbert from comment #2) In my tests, MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE didn't improve matters - it failed at about the same rate, but took longer to do so. But then, it doesn't fail that often in my setup... You could try that in your builds - if it helps, I'm fine with using that. Otherwise, we should really fix the reliability problem in dblatex (or whatever is causing the problem down the stack).

At the same time this enables two additional documentation languages (polnish and chinese) - their build process was even more unstable than the rest in my environment.

Created attachment 208229 [details] poudirere build log. The russian documentation fails and scuttles the whole build. build log attached.
