https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399239 Summary: YaST's software installation modules should show disk space modification Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andrea.turrini@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When you install or update a package using zypper, before to actually download and install it, zypper proposes a summary about the overall download size and about how much space will be occuped or freed after the operation. For example: The following packages are going to be upgraded: vlc-0.8.6h-4.1.i686 (Videolan) vlc-mozillaplugin-0.8.6h-4.1.i686 (Videolan) Overall download size: 6.7 M. After the operation, 1.1 M will be freed. On the contrary, sw_single and online_update modules do not show these informations except for the overall installation size of chosen packages during the actual installation of them (sw_single module only). I think it can be nice and useful if informations provided by zypper are also provided by installation modules of YaST inside the package selection window because when you have few free space inside the root partition, if you know how much space an update will occupy or free, then you can decide to update the package or not.
