port installed displays all the installed packages on the local machine, but is there any way to list the size of each one? Thanks!
I don't believe there's a build in command from Macports to list the size of your installs, but you can do this:
Try this command in the terminal:
du -sh /opt/local/var/macports/software/*
This will give you the size of every package in /opt/local/var/macports/software/*, which I believe is the default install location.
Obviously, if you install your ports somewhere else you can use
du -sh [directory]
Without a built in Macports command, this is the probably the best you can do.
One alternative that comes to mind is creating a script that would take the output of
port installed
and echo the size of each install.
edit:
I was mistaken. /opt/local/var/macports/software/* contains the tarbells that the installations were extracted from, so the sizes will be smaller.
If you do du -sh /opt/local, it should list the size of everything, but there may be a few non-macports packages in the list.
The command port contents installed will show you the directory of everything macports has installed.
