In an attempt to QA https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161763 I thought I needed to do: # zypper -v in android-studio which is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jayvdb:/android/openSUSE_Tum... 42K Zypper reported extracted size to be 50.1K. I thought, no big deal, so I proceeded. Freespace on / when I started was 81%. Installation was taking a seriously long time for a 50K installation, so I checked with lsof to find a zip file in /opt growing to 1015M.

I'm not sure it's zypper that mislead you here.

It looks like this package runs a wget in %pre which is why the download of the rpm, doesn't match the size of the actual download.

Really, I think this package probably needs some work to avoid the wget here in pre ...

Yep calling wget in pre certainly wouldn't meet openSUSE packaging standards hence why you didn't get this package from an official repo. This is just one of the reasons why you shouldn't trust packages that don't come from the official repo's. Personally I've just always installed android studio into /opt from there installer. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
