Ants on my table

Code:

 Scream your little anty screams

Code:

dpkg-deb -c mypackage.deb | sed -e 's/.*root\s*//' -e 's/\s*2010-.*$//' | xargs | tr ' ' + | bc

What it does? The code tries to construct a calculation string and feeds it to the command line calculator bc as follows:

use dpkg-deb to get the file size information out of the Debian package

echo "run rpm -qa | sort | less > /home/glenn/build/note-rpm-installed-list-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.txt, maybe upto 15kb text."/n
sudo rpm -qa | sort | less > /home/glenn/build/note-rpm-installed-list-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H`.txt

this produces a list, but top-down, no spaces or dashes.
