Hi every body.
A long time ago i create a conky package called

Gnulium 1.0.0 Released!

New Features:
1. Add new module called "Pacman" that have these capabilites:
   1.1. Show the current update size.
   1.2. Show the last time was system updated.
   1.3.
   1.4 Now, you can see all Aur-Helpers that install in your machine.
   1.5 Show more information about repositories.
   1.6 You can see all installed packages
2. I add new feature "What's this?" that would be like a advisor. for example if you want to know about top memory table, you can right click on it and click: "What's this?"
3. Add new search filters on top of each table.
4. Previous Settings not be registered correctly, i fix it!
5. Optimum how to access rot privileges. from now every time you see a yellow lock sign you must understand that part need root access!
6. Tor status Percentage and Graphic card added to home tab.
7. From now, please install gnulium-git. i I do not have a plan to push release in github. continue with lovely tags
Thanks to all persons that report bugs.

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

#define NEXT_UPDATE_SIZE "yes n | pkexec pacman -Syyuu | grep \"Total Download\" | awk '{ print $4,$5 }'"

This could leave the system in a partially upgraded state which can lead to system breakage.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

@slithery
I don't use:

pacman -Sy

I use:

pacman - Syyuu.

What is the problem?

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

But you're passing n to pacman thus skipping the actual updates.

yes n | pacman -Syyuu

is functionaly exactly the same as running

pacman -Syy

You're upgrading the db's without updating the packages.

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

And what about:

pacman -Syu

Instead of

Pacman -Syyuu

Is it safe?

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

If you're still piping n into it then no, it isn't.

The only safe way to do what you're after is the way the checkupdates script handles things, which is by running pacman in a fakeroot to prevent it updating the system db's.

Re: Gnulium, 2.0.0 Edition released!

On another note, grep + awk = awk.  But actually in this case you're only using awk for trimming the line anyways, so that's sed:

${bad-pacman-command} | sed -n 's/Total Download Size: *//p'
