Thanks for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. <http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists> might be a good start.
I also unmarked aptitude as this seems to be an issue that affects package descriptions in general rather than aptitude. |

Binary package hint: aptitude
Would it be a good idea to have standardized SI prefixes
everywhere or atleast make the move to. Just using the above example
:-
aptitude show filezilla
Package: filezilla
State: not installed
Version: 3.0.0~beta10-0ubuntu1
Priority: optional
Section: universe/net
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 2134k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070516), libgnutls13 (>=
1.5.3-0), libidn11 (>= 0.5.18), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2-20070516),
libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.4.0), libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.4.0),
filezilla-common (= 3.0.0~beta10-0ubuntu1)
Recommends: filezilla-locales
Description: Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client
FileZilla is a fast and reliable FTP client for windows with lots of useful
features and an intuitive interface.
It's now multi-platform.
FileZilla includes the following features :
* Easy to use
* Multilingual (English, German, French, Japanese, just to name a few)
* Strong encryption support using SFTP over SSH and FTP over SSL/TLS
* Supports transfer resuming and files larger than 4 GiB
* Site Manager
* Queue support
* Proxy support
* Speed limits
* MODE Z transfer compressing
* ... and more!
Homepage: http://filezilla-project.org/
Now as can be seen it says 2134K but confused as in 2134 kilobytes
(1000) or 2134 Kibibytes (1024) , I know it might mean a change to
large no. of softwares but it would be nicer in the long run as we
would have accurate sizes (reported or seen) by user. |
