You are joking here correct? You 'expect' a compressed file to
'announce'
it's installed size?
Yeah.
It wouldn't need to be perfect {eg when scripts generate further data
during the install}.
What OS does that?
Like zipinfo. Maybe a new feature to include in rpm metadata itself ?
Maybe Fedora needs to be first modern one ?
