I can't seem to find a way to get apk show the total download and the size of the installed packages on the hard disk before installing a package.
I'd like to suggest to add such option to apk.
This is a standard feature in most package managers and it would seem especially welcome on Alpine since it is by nature a minimalist distro.
Knowing how much space a packages and its dependencies would take would aid users to decide which set of packages better suits their needs before committing to an install.
