There is a question in the tickets about statistics. This is how I do it. I have a script for each package that measures time and size.
I build packages in /tmp, but really could be anywhere. First measure the free disk space: before=`df -k /tmp | grep / | sed -e "s/ \{2,\}/ /g" | cut -d' ' -f3` Run the build: TIMEFMT='%1R Elapsed Time - ' { time \ { echo Making $TITLE date # Instructions go here } } 2>&1 | tee -a $LOG Get the statistics: stats $LOG $DIR/$PROGRAM.tar.?z* $before Where stats does: function stats() { log=$1 tarball=$2 b4=$3 # This changes slightly for a base LFS build base_sbu=118 free_now=`df -k /tmp | grep / | sed -e "s/ \{2,\}/ /g" | cut -d" " -f3` buildtime=`tail -n1 $log|cut -f1 -d" "` sbu=`echo "scale=3; $buildtime / $base_sbu" | bc` psizeK=`du -k $tarball | cut -f1` psizeM=`echo "scale=3; $psizeK / 1024" | bc` bsizeK=`echo "$free_now - $b4" | bc` bsizeM=`echo "scale=3; $bsizeK / 1024" | bc` echo "SBU=$sbu" | tee -a $log echo "$psizeK $tarball size ($psizeM MB)" | tee -a $log echo "$bsizeK kilobytes build size ($bsizeM MB)" | tee -a $log (echo -n "md5sum : "; md5sum $tarball) | tee -a $log (echo -n "sha1sum: "; sha1sum $tarball) | tee -a $log echo "`date` $tarball" >> /usr/src/packages-$(lsb_release -r| cut -f2).log } So build size is measured as df_after - df_before. The issue to note is that there is activity during the build that adds or deletes space on /tmp, the size will be off. I have /tmp on its own partition. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
