[gentoo-user] emerge human readable format.

[galevsky]

Is there a way to have human readable format with emerge ?

It could be much more convenient to have this kind of information more
readable :

Number of files: 122567
Number of files transferred: 675
Total file size: 159275947 bytes
Total transferred file size: 3030220 bytes
Literal data: 3030220 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 2969859
File list generation time: 2.042 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 18837
Total bytes received: 4035665

sent 18837 bytes  received 4035665 bytes  901000.44 bytes/sec
total size is 159275947  speedup is 39.28

but I see no human readable formatting option. Any trick ?

This is from rsync, so look there. You can (I hope) change the command
to sync portage, so you can add some flags.

However, what is unreadable about that?

That's the output of rsync, not emerge.

Oddly enough, I find that quite human-readable, compared to some programs 
outputs.

No, you cannot; at least not through some configuration. You can
of course "hack" /usr/bin/emerge.

Yes you can, by setting PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS in /etc/make.conf, but
rsync doesn't appear to have an option to change this output, only
suppress it.

You can also override PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS (the defaults are set 
in /etc/make.globals) in make.conf. What you cannot do is change the binary 
that it uses (/usr/bin/rsync).

emerge --sync makes a call to rsync program ? I did not take the time
yet to learn more about Gentoo specific softwares, but I will do that
soon. Look at the sizes format in bytes. Today it often happens -well,
most of the time- several Mo of download, so the byte unit is not very
useful but Kb/Mb/Gb units could be a more human readable format. I
used to deal with --si or -H when using df as an example. By default,
size unit is byte, but when you want to understand the numbers with no
mental extra operation, It is quite good to print the more suitable
unit.

Let's see my previous example:

[...]
Total transferred file size: 3030220 bytes
[...]

well, if a 'human readable option' was available, we can imagine the
output to be:

Total transferred file size: 2.89 Mb

Is there any way to do that ?

Thank you.

Maybe it is possible.
man rsync with rsync version 2.6.9-r2 {~ Keyword} installed:
       -h, --human-readable
              Output  numbers in a more human-readable format.  This makes big 
numbers output using larger units, with a K, M, or G suffix.  If this option 
was specified once, these
              units are K (1000), M (1000*1000), and G (1000*1000*1000); if 
the option is repeated, the units are powers of 1024 instead of 1000.

So you can add PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h" or 
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h -h" in your /etc/make.conf to do that.

Great !!

Thanks guys,

I was out of business since I am launching emerge --sync and emerge
helper does not provide -h option. I need more readings on Portage I
think.
