Description tsattler 2005-12-20 04:26:18 UTC

gt5 reads the output of du, compares it with a du log saved on the previous invocation, converts it into HTML, and opens the results with a text browser.

It is an (even better) textmode alternative to xdiskusage, which is already in portage. It is a shell-script, released under GPL, hosted on sourceforge and only depends on gawk and a textbrowser ('links' is recommended, see http://gt5.sourceforge.net/browsers.html why)

Comment 2 Jesse Adelman 2006-06-23 17:16:58 UTC

Looks like 1.3b fixes a security bug. From changelog:

15.06.2006 version 1.3b

    * fixed quoting in two trap statements which could be used by
      local users to run arbitrary code as the user running gt5

Thanks for the ebuild, I've bumped it to 1.3d and did some small changes :)
