Heres my two pence worth of garbage:
1. If each package had a md5sum file, one could verify the space
requirements before installing a package.
2. md5sum files in the package could be signed. (secure)
3. After configuration new md5sums can be generated and signed (for
security)
With signe

Huh? .md5sums don't have any size information. How would this help?

Hi,
At several times during the last year or so, there have been
proposals about making it possible to do a preinstall space
check. This proposal includes a mechanism for doing just that.
This requires that we include size information; e
I've installed it onto my real potato system, then it complains about no
'utmp' group and exits status 1. Is there any special way to create the
group? I'm assuming it doesn't need a specific gid, just one in the system
range.

Is a pregenerated du file necessary? You already assume that you have
the package at hand, so you might as well collect size information from
the package directly. That way, you can also handle differences in block
sizes. And it means that you don't have to change every package.

I'll second this proposal in a heartbeat if you include the actual text to
put in the policy manual to go with it. Your basic scheme looks fine, but I
don't like seconding policy until I've seen the actual text. :-)

I've converted my weekly policy postings over to using an xml database, and
generate a html file from that hourly (though I don't necessarily update it
hourly :-). The page can be found here, perhaps people can let me know if
I'm missing anything or if they have ideas for a better format:
