Hi

Suggestion

1) There should be option called --size in yum which can restrict the
space which can be used yum. This would be beneficial to machine with
low disk space.

This seems like a bad idea, we already do:

          dirstat = os.statvfs(po.repo.pkgdir)
          if (dirstat.f_bavail * dirstat.f_bsize) <= long(po.size):
              adderror(po, _('Insufficient space in download directory %s\n'
                      "    * free   %s\n"
                      "    * needed %s") %

...which is done as we download each package. I'm not sure exactly what
feature you want, but I assume something like doing the above check
before we download anything based on "expected total download size" and
then maybe removing some space from what we count as "free"?


I think Sachin wants it to batch the updates in size.
So you do them in batches of 1gb installed + downloaded space at a time.
