bpkg-pkg-update(1) General Commands Manual bpkg-pkg-update(1) NAME bpkg-pkg-update - update package SYNOPSIS bpkg pkg-update|update [options] [vars] pkg... bpkg pkg-update|update [options] [vars] --all|-a bpkg pkg-update|update [options] [vars] (--all-pattern )... DESCRIPTION The pkg-update command updates the specified packages (the first form), all the held packages (the second form, see bpkg-pkg-status(1)), or all the held packages that match any of the specified wildcard patterns (the third form). Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of these packages can be also updated by specifying the --immediate|-i or --recursive|-r options, respectively. Underneath, this command doesn't do much more than run b update (or one of its update-for-* variants; see --for|-f). In the first form the specified packages must have been previously configured with bpkg-pkg-build(1) or bpkg-pkg-configure(1). Additional command line variables (vars, normally config.*) can be passed to the build system. Such variables apply to all the specified packages but can also be specified to only apply to specific packages using the argument grouping mechanism (see bpkg-argument-grouping(1) for details). PKG-UPDATE OPTIONS --all|-a Update all held packages. --all-pattern pattern Update held packages that match the specified wildcard pattern. Repeat this option to match multiple patterns. Note that you may need to quote the pattern to prevent expansion by your shell. --immediate|-i Also update immediate dependencies. --recursive|-r Also update all dependencies, recursively. --for|-f operation Instead of the default update build system operation, perform the update-for-operation variant where operation is normally install or test. --directory|-d dir Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current working directory.

DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES See bpkg-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the pkg-update command the search start directory is the configuration directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed: bpkg.options bpkg-pkg-update.options The following pkg-update command options cannot be specified in the default options files: --directory|-d BUGS Send bug reports to the users@build2.org mailing list.
