I just finished a patch to pkg_create which puts a file +SIZE in the
tar ball.  The new pkg_add knows that this belongs into the package
database.  And finally the new pkg_info knows where to get this info
and how to display it.

Only bad thing is that pkg_info doesn't do any fancy formatting, yet.
It just prints the size in bytes from the file w/o any change.  That
looks a bit ugly.

As supportive feature for future additions pkg_create also can put the
estimated size into a file named on the command line.  The next thing
to do is adding some support to bsd.port.(%|subdir.)mk to put the size
estimations created by pkg_create together to a large table a la
INDEX.

After doing that sysinstall will have to get a bit more functionality
in the package management to actually show the sizes from this table.
Then the support should be complete.

Stefan.
