bdep-update - Man Page

bdep update [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
pkg-spec = (--directory|-d pkg-dir)... | prj-spec
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

The update command updates the project packages in one or more build configurations. Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of the project packages can be updated by specifying the --immediate|-i or --recursive|-r options, respectively.

Underneath update executes the bpkg-pkg-update(1) command which itself is not much more than the build system update operation (see b(1) for details). As a result, the main utility of this command is the ability to refer to build configurations by names and to project packages implicitly via the current working directory as well as to update dependencies.

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var... are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.

--immediate|-i

Also update immediate dependencies.

--recursive|-r

Also update all dependencies, recursively.

--all|-a

Use all build configurations.

--config|-c dir

Specify the build configuration as a directory.

--directory|-d dir

Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.

--config-name|-n name

Specify the build configuration as a name.

--config-id num

Specify the build configuration as an id.

The common options are summarized below with a more detailed description available in bdep-common-options(1).

-v

Print essential underlying commands being executed.

-V

Print all underlying commands being executed.

--quiet|-q

--stdout-format format

--jobs|-j num

--progress

Display progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.

--no-progress

Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.

--diag-color

Use color in diagnostics.

--no-diag-color

Don't use color in diagnostics.

--bpkg path

The package manager program to be used for build configuration management.

--bpkg-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the package manager program.

--build path

The build program to be used to build packages.

--build-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the build program.

--curl path

The curl program to be used for network operations.

--curl-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the curl program.

--pager path

The pager program to be used to show long text.

--pager-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the pager program.

--options-file file

Read additional options from file.

--default-options dir

The directory to load additional default options files from.

--no-default-options

Don't load default options files.

See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the update command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bdep.options
bdep-update.options

The following update command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
