The current calculation of the total file size for a package using "du" suffers from issues in portability and correctness. Especially on btrfs, this can result in clearly wrong package information such as:
Download Size : 14684.29 KiB Installed Size : 7628.00 KiB
Use a slower but more accurate method involving "cat" and "wc" to calculate total file size.

Unsafe xargs usage.

Why can't we use @SIZECMD@ here? Same issues as du?
SIZECMD returns one file size per line so we'd also have to add them up. Small test (1003 bytes PKGBUILD on btrfs with default mount options): SIZECMD (stat -L -c %s) 1003 du -skh 512 du -sb 1003 wc -c 1003 If du -sb is portable that might be the easiest way. -- Florian Pritz
