[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Show used/freed space when syncing

[Hugo Chargois]

Hi,
I sent a new patch that mentions the ref of the FR. It also fixes some
typos.
As for the name of the field, well I don't know, I wrote "Total Used/Freed
Size" because it resembles aptitude's "x MB will be used" or "x MB will be
freed" that I am accustomed to. But there sure are other ways to phrase it.
The FR says "Total Upgrade Size", that may be better.

Best,
Hugo.
