NAME
xbps-checkvers — XBPS utility to check for outdated packages
SYNOPSIS
xbps-checkvers [OPTIONS] [FILES...]
DESCRIPTION
The xbps-checkvers utility checks for outdated packages in a target root directory or in all registered repositories by comparing the package versions against the source package versions available in a void-packages tree. By default and unless the −i, −-installed option is set, it will compare package versions in repositories against the void-packages tree. The FILES argument sets extra packages to process with the outdated ones (only processed if missing).
OPTIONS
−C, −-config dir
Specifies a path to the XBPS configuration directory. If the first character is not ’/’ then it’s a relative path of rootdir.
−D, −-distdir dir
Specifies a full path to the void-packages repository. By default set to ˜/void-packages.
−e, −-removed
List packages present in repos, but not in distdir. Srcver is a question mark for them.
−d, −-debug
Enables extra debugging shown to stderr.
−f, −-format format
Format according to the string format, inspired by printf(3).
The following formatting codes may be used:
\n
Newline.
\t
Tab.
\0
NULL.
%%
A plain ‘%’.
%n
The package name.
%r
The package version from repositories or pkgdb (returns ? if not found).
%s
The source package version (returns ? if not found).
%t
The requested template name (this can be a sub package).
%R
The repository url (returns ? if not found).
The default format is “%n %r %s %t %R”.
−h, −-help
Show the help message.
−i, −-ignore-conf-repos
Ignore repositories defined in configuration files. Only repositories specified in the command line via --repository will be used.
−I, −-installed
Check for outdated installed packages rather than in repositories.
−m, −-manual
Only process listed files.
−R, −-repository=uri
Repository to be added to the top of the list. This option can be specified multiple times.
−r, −-rootdir dir
Specifies a full path for the target root directory.
−s, −-show-all
List all packages found in the void-packages tree and prints version available in repository and srcpkgs with the following format: pkgname repover srcver. If any version can’t be resolved, ? is printed instead.
−V, −-version
Show the version information.
