Comment 3 for bug 276457

Celso, the use-case is very clear, as MMS-Prodeia stated.

I recently got the email warning about PPA limits from the 25th too. My PPA summary shows it uses 1.5GB but I have *no* way to analyse which packages are using the most space in order to make judgements as to which might be removed, or whether to ask for an increase in size.

My packages usually contain proposed bug-fixes and so can expire once upstream or the Ubuntu repositories include the patches. However, many of the patches won't get upstream any time soon or may not be appropriate for SRU so I need to keep them in the archive if the improvements are going to remain available to Ubuntu users.

The only way to determine the package source/binary sizes is to manually inspect the archive listings for each package - a very time-consuming and frustrating process!

The issue is compounded by the fact that the Delete functionality only lists the first 20 or so packages and so I found myself in the ridiculous situation of having to filter by each letter of the alphabet in turn to review all the packages in the archive whilst trying to figure out which might be deleted.

At least for the Delete functionality, there should be a column displaying the package's binary and source sizes since it is and will become an important criteria as time goes on and PPAs maintain older packages whilst continually adding newer versions.
