The patches are bases on its source. >Description: I added package size estimation to pkg_create which puts another file (named +SIZE) in the resulting tar ball. One can also use the new pkg_create to just estimate this size and put it into some file or to stdout. The new options are -S for giving the name of the file where the size shall be written (also works when actually creating a package) and -z for size estimation only. In pkg_add I had to make a small addition to get the file into the package database under /var/db/pkg. It will be needed by pkg_info to give an idea of how much space a package consumes. pkg_info was changed to give the package size. It currently just outputs the file so it isn't pretty. The number should get read in with *scanf() and written out in KByte with separtors appropriate for the locale, i.e. thousands separator with commas in the US for example. pkg_delete just does the right thing. Not patch needed. The old 2.2-stable pkg_add just ignore +SIZE so one can add the new packages with the old command. The new pkg_add is able to add old packages. So I think they are fully compatible with each other. >How-To-Repeat: Apply the patch and try the new features. >Fix: I will have to upload it to ftp.freebsd.org as it is a bit too large for my taste. If anybody would like to have it via email I will send out individual copies. I think the URL will be: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/pkg_size_patches.gz Unless it is used already. I can't check now as I only have Internet from 4:00 p.m. CEST on. :-( >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
