https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337908 Summary: software manager: provide info about current package size in the list Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- It could be done by adding column (bad), settings in yast, or just a checkbox menu item in menu ("show current package size"). Now yast shows size of packages that MIGHT be installed -- and thus it makes maintaining the system more difficult it could be. Simple task -- show all biggest packages installed in the system. With yast it is impossible (for example the top entry is k3b with size ~130MB, but k3b is actually installed and it takes only ~11MB so I should now worry about it). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

:-) See it for yourself.

That's exactly what I did, but it does not work that way -- compare sizes really carefully. When the newer package is available the size shown is the size of newer version, not the one installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The size of the installed package is available in the "technical details" view. Besides, there is usually not very much difference in in size between different versions of the same package. The "k3b" example in that screen shot is a pathological exception. And trying to cut the discussion I can see on the horizon short: That package selector is already very complex. We sure don't want to add to the complexity even more unless absolutely necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
