sizr

A tool that recursively calculates the removable size of packages

It will sum the size of every dependency that will no longer be required if the target package is deleted.

By default, sizr will display the packages of higher sizes in decrescent order.

How to use

The first time you run sizr, it will load all the packages installed on your system ( This might take a minute, but only on the first time ). After, it will display a list ( 30, by default ) of the packages with higher calculated sizes. The number of packages can be changed with -n or --limit flags.

Usage

sizr [-n | --limit] ( Default: 30 )
sizr -v | --version
sizr -h | --help

Options:
  -n --limit	Set the limit of packages to show (Default: 30)
  -h --help	Show this help message
  -v --version	Show sizr version

How to install

git clone https://github.com/spectronp/sizr
cd sizr
make
make install

IMPORTANT! The user needs to be in the wheel group to use the database file

Add current user to wheel:

sudo usermod -a -G wheel $USER

Dependencies

The only dependency sizr has is jq. You can easily install it with:

sudo pacman -S jq

# or using an AUR helper ( I think you know how to do it 🙂 )

How to uninstall

Run inside the repository:

make uninstall

How to run tests

Run the default test command:

make test

You can pass arguments and flags to go test command running the wrap.sh script:

./test/wrap.sh ARGS_FLAGS_HERE

# Example
./test/wrap.sh -v -failfast
