[pacman-dev] [PATCH] [RFC] pacman -Si/-Qi: Autodetect best fitting file size unit

[Florian Pritz]

I've tracked this back to e223366 and it looks like this just forces KiB
because back then humanize_size didn't exist, but the size was just
divided by 1024 to keep it somewhat readable. When humanize_size got
introduced in 3c8a448 this was just carried over.

Similar to this -Su also forces units to MiB, but I'm unsure if this should be
changed since -Su outputs a nice table and having everything in the same unit
makes comparing packages easier.

Any input on this patch and the -Su situation would be welcome.
