How do I get the download and installation size of all packages on my system?

$ pacman -Qi gcc | grep Size
Installed Size : 69727.74 K

$ ls -sh /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gcc-4.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
27M /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gcc-4.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

I made this little script to get the total installed size of all packages.

from __future__ import with_statement
import sys, os

os.system("sudo pacman -Qi | grep Size | gawk '{print $4}' | sort -g > sizes.txt")


a = 0.0

with open("sizes.txt") as f:
    for line in f:
        a = a + float(line)

print a/1024, "MB"
os.system("rm sizes.txt")

Now how do I get the total download size of all packages?

du -hs /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

I did a lot of installing and uninstalling of stuff. That would just size everything I ever downloaded. That's not what I want, lol.

pacman -Q lists all installed packages. I'm sure you can work out the rest yourself.

I know that. But it doesn't show download size for each package.

Well did you try pacman -Qi?

Yes, and it doesn't show download size.

tomk · 2008-03-25 16:17:03

ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkg lists tarball size i.e. download size. Use pacman -Q and the cache list to work it out.

pacman -Si does, if you want to calculate it. Don't know if that checks every package in the repo or just the ones you installed though.

Thanks.

The -S option is for packages in the repos you have enabled. The -Q option will check packages you have installed.

So you won't want to use -S for what you want to do.
