Kstars Feedback

[Jeremy Whiting]

Hi Jasem,

Yeah, kanagram's providers.xml is pointing at api.kde-look.org that is
providing item xml like this:
https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/data?categories=336&distribution&license&search&sortmode=new&page=0&pagesize=20
that has downloadsize1 tags with the file sizes for each download link. I
think if we provide similar xml tags in the kstars data on edu.kde.org the
sizes will show up in the download dialog.

thanks,
Jeremy
