Command Show biggest packages

Japanlinux · 2010-05-26 03:24:10

Hello! I used ubuntu a while ago, and there was a command to show the packages in order of size. below is that command but limits it to show only the top 10 biggest packages.

dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n | grep -v deinstall | awk '{printf "%.3f MB \t %s\n", $2/(1024), $1}'

I have no idea how to search for that command on the forums...

Anyway, could someone kindly explain how I could use a command like this (hopefully simpler ) on Arch?

A quick search for "largest packages" turned up this post by Daenyth:

I use Byte's script which is linked to at the bottom of the first page:

Take a look at pacgraph

well, thank you. I did try 'Biggest packages,' which brought nothing useful, I couldn't figure out what to search for after that. Hadn't entered my mind to use a synonym oops... Thank you for not being too harsh on me.

I just use ducks !!

The command is

 du -cks * | sort -rn | head -11

I have also created an alias called ducks for the above...and everytime I type in ducks...it shows me the hogs within that folder. Most times I am only concerned with the files in the home directory. The files in the other partitions (/ and or var) are most likely needed or I can clean var with pacman -Sc

Hi!

I think I managed to keep it shorter then the dpkg version.

perl -e '@i=`pacman -Qi`;for(@i){if(/Name\s+:(.+)/){$n=$1;}if(/Installed Size\s+:(.+) K/){$s=$1;}$w{$n}=$s;}for$f(sort{$w{$a}<=>$w{$b}}(keys(%w))){printf("\033[31m%8d\033[0mK %s\n",$w{$f},$f);}'

Or... maybe not. But prettier!

I want to add this from my .bashrc (it's from somewhere in this forum)

function biggestProgs()
{
    echo "-----+---------+---------------------------"
    echo " POS | SIZE MB |            NAME " 
    echo "-----+---------+---------------------------"
    pacman -Qs|awk '/local/{print substr($3,2)" "substr($1,7)}'|sort -rn|head -$1|awk '{printf "%4d | %7s | %s\n",NR,$1,$2}'
}

Also there is, for the GUI part, pacstats (it's in AUR)

Here is a command to get basically the same output as your original ubuntu command gives:

pacman -Qi | awk '/Name/ { name=$3 } /Size/ { printf "%.3fMB\t%s\n", $4/1024, name }' | sort -rh | head -n 10

That is an amazing package! Thanks

I just came up with this :

for file in /var/lib/pacman/local/*; do echo "$(sed -n '/^%SIZE%$/{N;s/.*\n//p}' < $file/desc) ${file##*/}"; done | sort -n
