finding size of port

[Russell Jones]

If you have access to a system with it installed, you could use the following to get the size in kilobytes

port contents texlive-latex-extra | xargs file | grep -vE ": directory$" | cut -d: -f1 | xargs du -k | cut -f1 | paste -s -d "+" - | bc

How does one find the size of a port/package?

Say I instaleld tex-live medium and want to install texlive-latex-extra but I am worried that my SD only has 2 GB left.
How can check the size of texlive-latex-extra to see if it is worth it?

Thanks
