item: 1) Tarball size in moonbase/lunar
ADDED BY nestu
TOPIC: Tarballs size
Add an option to show the size of a module's tarball, This can be done
via lvu for example (e.g. lvu size <module>) and at "lin" time to know how much
is doing to be DLed. This way it can be known previously if the download is
worth it (time speaking for example) or if there is a better alternative
(another module that can provide the same functionality with less dependencies).
It would require resolving dependencies for all modules before any action is
taken, in the case of lin. The module size could be useful for a lvu tree, a lvu
depends, if wanted (secondary to lin's use). As pointed out on IRC, this could
be achieved by an extra field in DETAILS, for example, or in moonbase, to keep
things centralised.
