Historically we don't handle this, because in opkg "installed_size" is not tightly defined, so when installing it on e.g. compressed ubifs the *actual* installed size is usually less than the size on e.g. ext2. The fear was that package managers would refuse to install e.g. a 30MB text file when ubifs reports 29MB free, even if that file would only occupy 3MB of actual space. That's the background, I personally would like to include that (the "uncompressed image size") info in the package, but I am unsure what the implications are of that when using a recent opkg. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFL0b7JMkyGM64RGpERAte3AJ4l7aa8lcrl5GqjNgAYwLJTFLo06ACgnuxZ ivi3OMdwFFDpAzQcPZNH054= =qSJ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
