I wish you left it up there. Sometimes it takes a while for things to happen. Oh, sorry about that. I wish you left it up there. Sometimes it takes a while for things to happen.

Now that you mention that code will not be called for slave port, i would not be needing it. I have finished it which accounted for slave ports; code will need very minor adjustments to reflect the reality (of not being called for slave ports). Try it until then from <a href="http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/src/perl/dist/FreshPorts-File-Size-Dist-0.01.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">FreshPorts-File-Size-Dist-0.01.tar.gz</a>; i will update it later today under different version number.

By port origin, do you mean 'sysutils/bacula-server'? For what it's worth, this function won't get called called for ports without distinfo files (e.g. some slave ports). BTW: why do you want the port origin? I think distinfo filename should be enough. Sorry, I mean the name of the distinfo file, not the name of the distfile.

If both the port origin & distfile name given, that would help a lot. If the input will be the distfile name, how would i get the location of distinfo?

I will work on getting distfile sizes and post the code here (unless you would prefer some other way). Ah, ok.

I wanted to start with distfile size because that's easy to do and is an indication of how much you're going to need to download. Getting that information from the distinfo file is pretty straight forward. To be complete, and give the user information about how much is going to be downloaded, FreshPorts could then go through the dependencies to find out the size of everything required. For package size, this is a different issue. I think the easiest way there is a directory listing, taken from a mirror. Getting the package size is a totally different approach to the problem.
