I did it the hard way with some awk-fu, grabbing the Size value from
each package in the development repository, then adding them up:
$ repoquery --info --all --repoid=development | grep Size \
| awk -F ':' --assign sum=0 '{sum=sum+$2} END {print sum}'
32517444423
That's in bytes, so just over 30 GB, as I had noted. :)
A surprisingly small amount of this appears to be duplication of 32-bit
libraries and applications, as can be seen by using the "--archlist"
option to repoquery. Size, in bytes, of various arches in the
development repo are as follows:
x86_64: 20808445168
noarch: 6937458487
i386: 4754678830
i686: 16861938
This shows that approximately much of the repo is purely 64-bit or
arch-independent packages (approximately 27 gigabytes), and the
remaining 4 gigabytes or so is duplicates of the 32-bit stuff needed for
multilib.
(IANAE, however!)
