Bug 128978 – portage-utils: qsize 4GB (32bits) limit

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description TGL 2006-04-05 16:30:05 UTC]

The qsize applet uses some size_t to store files sizes sums. But it's not big enough when there is more than 4GB installed on the system (with -s or -S option), or even when a single package weights more than 4GB (i'm not sure, but i think this may happen with some huge proprietary games).

On my system, with portage-utils-0.1.15:
% qsize -afbS
 Totals: 326341 files, 37741 non-files, 395427840 bytes

Expected result:
% qsize -afbS
 Totals: 326341 files, 37741 non-files, 8985362432 bytes
(which is 8GB more)

I will attach a patch to use some uint64_t instead.
