Title:
No information about dependencies being pulled in
To
I totally agree with this. The user MUST be notified of the dependencies
TO BE INSTALLED or ALREADY INSTALLED. Let's take an example case: the
user is choosing between multiple softwares that do the same job (and
they're a lot), but only one of them whose dependencies are already
installed (or
USC now shows the Total size of something you are considering
installing, both download size and installed size.
Unfortunately the packaging system isn't yet smart enough to calculate
whether there will be enough disk space, because it doesn't know ahead
of time which installed files will go on

mvo mpt_: that is possible and should not cause too much grief, but it
will require some magic to ensure that its always consistent depending
with the running transcations and the ones that got canceled in between
etc
So let's assume we can show live information, on a package screen, about
which

Thanks for this report, Andrew.
So your user story is: As someone whose computer has limited disk space
available, I want to know, before I install a particular program,
whether I'll still have enough disk space afterward.
If that's a fair summary, do you think the design you've mocked up
solves
Well, I think it is a real issue, but I'm mostly wondering if there
has already been thought put into how things like this could be
handled. My mock up is certainly lacking. It does assume that the user
understands what a dependency means. It also doesn't take into account
what packages actually

Here's an attempt at a mock up for a drop down list. Of course, it would
be much more informative to actually tell the user what additional
packages would be installed, but in its current form I'm not sure how
software-store would do that. Doing the dependency calculation on each
package view

Just took a look at how package-kit handles this. Apparently they throw
a pop-up (not surprising, my biggest gripe with the package-kit UI is
the number of different windows, I very much like software-store's
attempt to consolidate things), but it has a check box to allow users to
not see it in
