Doesn't anaconda do a test to see if the install will fit? I vaguely recall (or imagine, with age it seems there's little difference sometimes) seeing such a message. If so, that would handle all the dependency recursion and from there a statistical factor for the expected compression should get a reasonably close estimate, no? -- John Florian _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
