Ah ha. That's more like it. Of course:
% make check-size
foo-1.2 369,638
bar-3.0 27,224
baz-0.8 1,228,846
Total: 1,625,708
might have prevented the mind numbing tedium of downloading linux_base
over a 33.6 connection :-)
Is files/md5 the best place to put it? I was thinking something like
files/size, which would either be
1. The total size of all the distfiles that make up the port, or
2. The size of all the distfiles (distfile\tsize or similar)
That way you don't need to do anything to md5(1).
