Hi, 2008-09-11 13:01 jida...@jidanni.org:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.9-1 Severity: wishlist For those moving from 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' to aptitude, it is frustrating that there is no way to get the same effect in one step.
Does apt-get support scheduled actions at all? Because I don't think that it does, and in that case I don't understand why it is relevant to mention it here, and what's the disadvantage with aptitude w.r.t. apt.
I.e., one must remember to do # aptitude full-upgrade && aptitude install #or # aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude install if one wants the items one did --schedule-only on acted upon. Therefore there should be a -o Aptitude::Upgrade-Also-Runs-Scheduled or even Aptitude::Full-Upgrade-Also-Runs-Scheduled Aptitude::Safe-Upgrade-Also-Runs-Scheduled Aptitude::All-Upgrades-Also-Runs-Scheduled available for one to set =true. OK, never mind the third.
Frankly, I also don't see the disadvantage of using a simple combination of commands in the shell rather than complicating aptitude more and more. And if this was to be implemented, I think that it's better to make *-upgrades have scheduled actions into account unconditionally, if possible at all, rather than adding yet more config options. But I am leaning more towards +wontfix. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
