# sbuild-stats(1)

display or alter database of package build times/space

## NAME

sbuild-stats - display or alter database of package build times/space

## SYNOPSIS

**sbuild-stats** \[**-h**\|**--help** \| **-V**\|**--version**  \| **-a PACKAGE TIME**\|**--add PACKAGE TIME**  \| \[**-d**\|**--delete** \| **--dump**\] **PACKAGE1** \[**PACKAGE2** \[**PACKAGE***n***...**\]\]\] \[**-t**\|**--time** \| **-s**\|**--space**\] --top**\]**

## VERSION

This man page documents the packaged version of sbuild.  This version is maintained by the **buildd-tools** project developers on Alioth (`https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/`).

## DESCRIPTION

**sbuild-stats** displays or alters data from a database of package build times or space, usually updated by sbuild.  Note: sbuild-stats was previously known as avg-pkg-build-time and avg-pkg-build-space.  When invoked with the old names, the database is defaulted to either the build-time or build-space database, as if the *--time* or *--space* options had been used, respectively.

If no option other than the database to use is given, **sbuild-stats** will display the entire contents of the database.

The database files are only used if they already exist.  See *README.Debian* for more information.

## OPTIONS

### Actions

- **-h**, **--help**

  Display this manual.

- **-V**, **--version**

  Print version information.

- **-a**, **--add PACKAGE TIME**

  Add an entry for a package. \<time\> is in the format HH:MM:SS, where hours and minutes are optional.

- **-d**, **--delete PACKAGE1** \[**PACKAGE2** \[**PACKAGE***n***...**\]\]\]

  Remove the data for a package from the database.

- **--dump** \[**PACKAGE1** \[**PACKAGE2** \[**PACKAGE***n***...**\]\]\]

  Output the contents of the database in unprocessed form.  If no packages are given, the entire database will be output.

### Database selection

- **-t**, **--time**

  Display build-time database.

- **-s**, **--space**

  Display build-space database.

### Sorting

- **--top**

  Sort the output by build time; longest build first.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The following environment variables are used by **sbuild-stats**:

- HOME

  The home directory of the user.

## FILES

**sbuild-stats** reads the sbuild configuration files */etc/sbuild/sbuild.conf* and *~/.sbuildrc* (if it exists) to discover the location of the databases, which are usually located under */var/lib/sbuild*.

## EXAMPLES

To view the average build time for the *koffice* package:

`% `**sbuild-stats --time koffice**\
 **koffice:                02:44:55 (1 entry, sigma 00:00:00)**

**To view the average build space for the** *koffice* **package:**

`% `**sbuild-stats --space koffice**\
 **koffice:                1597724k (1597724k latest)**\
