Upgrade Command

Synopsis

dnf5 upgrade [options] [<package-spec>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...]

Description

The upgrade command in DNF5 is used for upgrading installed packages, groups or environments to newer available version.

Since groups and environments are not versioned the upgrade basically means a synchronization with the currently available definition. In addition group upgrade also upgrades all packages the group contains and environment upgrade also upgrades all groups the environment contains.

Options

--minimal
Upgrade packages only to the lowest available versions that fix advisories of type bugfix, enhancement, security, or
newpackage. In case that any option limiting advisories is used it upgrades packages only to the lowest versions
that fix advisories matching selected advisory properties
--allowerasing
Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.
--skip-unavailable
Allow skipping packages that are not possible to upgrade. All remaining packages will be upgraded.
--allow-downgrade
Enable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.
--no-allow-downgrade
Disable downgrade of dependencies when resolving the requested operation.
--destdir=<path>
Set directory used for downloading packages to. Default location is to the current working directory.
Automatically sets the downloadonly option.
--from-repo=REPO_ID,...
Packages (or their provides) explicitly specified on the command line will only be looked up in the specified repositories.
Repository enabling and disabling still applies. Dependencies of these packages will be resolved from any enabled repository.
