Re: Bug#582321: TAG: dirsum -- commandline directory summary
I'm unsure if this ITP was filed as a reaction to my closure of #571575, or without knowledge of it. But .. a) I am really suprised that many people would care that du -h | sort -h doesn't list files in strict order of size. Does which of two 1.0G files is largest really tend to matter? Enough to have a whole other package? b) If you do care which 1.0G file is biggest, then an option to have du include some additional precision in its -h output would easily solve your problem. Or there's the small modification I suggest to du at http://bugs.debian.org/563118#70 would allow sorting its output exactly by size, without the ugliness of needing a sort -h, and while still providing human-readable file sizes. c) I'd certianly be willing to consider for moreutils a filter that converts block or byte sized input into human-readable sizes. That would be the full-on unix way to go. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Well, newer versions of sort added the functionality you miss, citing from the GNU coreutils manual [1]: ‘-h’ ‘--human-numeric-sort’ ‘--sort=human-numeric’ Sort numerically, as per the --numeric-sort option below, and in addition handle IEC or SI suffixes like MiB, MB etc (Block size). Note a mixture of IEC and SI suffixes is not supported and will be flagged as an error. Also the numbers must be abbreviated uniformly. I.E. values with different precisions like 6000K and 5M will be sorted incorrectly. This feature was introduced in GNU coreutils release 7.5, 2009-08-20 [2] As the coreutils version in debian sid and squeeze (I couldn't verify lenny) is newer, the following command will work: du -sh |sort -hr to have the largest files first. the sort(1) man page on debian documents this behaviour. So if it only takes one pipe and coreutils to implement the functionality of dirsum, maybe it's not worth a package.
