Time is useful, but I'm not sure how useful a "size" indicator would be. We don't know 100% the size of the transaction until we are running it, and so any number would be a best guess heuristic.
I've committed this tho:

feature: add an entry to the config file to turn on time estimation, and enable it by default
If I know the size dan the speed then I will be able to estimate when the installation will be finished. For example: I learn that if my internet connection has the speed = 32kB/s, then it will take about an hour to install a package (and all its dependencies) that have total size 112.5MB. So, next time, when I install a package (and all its dependencies) with total size 787.5MB, then I will know that the installation will take about 7 hours. I will arrange this installation at night while I take a sleep. I personally need this "size" indicator though I am not sure that it will useful to many other users. I like the way yum provide detailed information with nicer format (compared to aptitude/apt-get on debian) I do not run F10 anymore. So, I close this bug number. Currently, I am running rawhide and see that time estimation has been implemented. I would love to see the rest of the features I described before to be implemented someday. Thanks, Richard. |
