bigpkg - find packages that require a lot of space on your system

655321 · 2010-11-20 01:04:40

Hi, I cant get it to work, I downloaded, give it executable permissions and change the .txt extension to .sh, first I ran:

sh bigpkg.sh

and got

bigpkg.sh: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bigpkg.sh: line 26: `def strip_versioning(pkg):'

and then tried with:

./bigpkg.sh

and got:

/usr/bin/env: python: No such file or directory

Python is installed on my system.

How to solve this?

cheers

change "python" to "python2" on the top line.

Edit: I should rewrite it in python3...

Thx! changing to python2 on the script helped

cheers.

PS: I really have some big ass packages lol

Nice app, my system is 2.5GB smaller now!

Very nice, script, Allan. I placed it in the AUR. Before this script, I have been using pacgraph to accomplish this task. (pacgraph -c), but I think your method is more elegant and more accurately captures the true size.

Two suggestions to improve the output IMO:
1) Format the output with the size in MB rather than in K
2) Reverse the order of the pkgname and size and separate the two by a tab to make the output look a bit cleaner

bigpkg seems to crash on dependencies that have been removed locally with pacman -Rd.

Allan · 2010-11-21 10:13:58

I have not touched this script in over a year... so feel free to do what you want to it. I will probably adjust it once pacman-3.5 is release as it will be nicely broken then!

That is because you pacman database is inconsistent... one package says you have a dependency installed but there is not database entry. Again, not likely to get fixed any time soon...

Just for the record:

The package in the AUR has been updated.

@graysky

I posted in the aur how I edited to add KB, MB, and GB then I read this post and decided to implement your other idea:

http://paste.pocoo.org/show/448968/

(oh and I changed it from /usr/bin/env python2 to /use/bin/env python since its python 3.x now)

Seems to work fine with python2 if you keep the 'python2' part.
Not sure if '953.00KB' is helpful - do I really care about every byte?

just checked and .format() works in 2.6 and up so everything should work in python2 or python

and the .00 is for the MB/GB ones but if it makes you feel better you can modify it to not show if there is no decimal....

Actually upon consideration it is sorta pointless to have all that .00 for KB's so here you go: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/448980/

Edit: Grrr, In my terminal the columns are not off by one character, they are off by eight.
I "fixed it" by piping the output of your script to 'column -t'.

./bp | column -t

for some odd reason its treating \t\t really weird making some tabs bigger than others... unless theres preceeding whitespace before the pkg names?

python2 :-)
With python3 the zeroes are gone.

markbabc · 2011-07-29 19:42:55

Alright I forgot python2.x and 3.x division acts differently... if you want the same thing that im coding (why bother with 2.x when 3.x is default in arch?) do from __future__ import division

http://paste.pocoo.org/show/448999/

Thats it with adjusted spaces so the pkg names are all lined up

I only said it worked OK with python2 - I considered it a bonus :-)

nice! didnt think to do the {0:num,} thing! although in your what if a pkg is 1000.1 MB large? you have to make it 6 instead of 5 (I went with 7 because I kept the two decimal places)
