Total size of installed package

ErV · 11-19-2008, 02:28 PM

Hello.

I'd like to know how it is possible to get total file size of installed slackware package.
I discovered that it is possible to do this way:

Code:

du -sch `tail +8 /var/log/packages/opera-9.52-i386-1ErV |grep -v '.*/$'| sed 's/\(.*\)/\/\1/'`

But it is a bit ugly. Is there more elegant way to do this? (in one line of code, if possible).

One of these alternatives may be simpler:

Code:

awk '/^UNCOMPRESSED/ { print $4 * 1024; exit }' /var/log/packages/...
awk '/^UNCOMPRESSED/ { print $4,"K"; exit }' /var/log/packages/...
awk '/^UNCOMPRESSED/ { print $4 "K"; exit }' /var/log/packages/...

Edit: and way faster too, I suppose.

I must have been blind - uncompressed size is printed on 3rd line of file list for every package in /var/log/packages. Didn't notice it :-\.

Thanks for the info, question answered.
