Hi,
Is there a way to invert a match when upgrading? Since I've started
using pkgbase I find myself wanting to upgrade only non-base packages
and I haven't found a quick way to do it. It would be great to have
an option to invert -g or -x matches.
Thanks,
Nikos
You can upgrade only with specified 'FreeBSD-ports' and 'FreeBSD-ports-kmods'
repos:
root@freebsd15:~ # pkg upg -r FreeBSD-ports -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods
Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-ports repository is up to date.
Updating FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository is up to date.
FreeBSD-ports, FreeBSD-ports-kmods are up to date.
Checking for upgrades (0 candidates): 100%
Processing candidates (0 candidates): 100%
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Your packages are up to date.
So PKGBASE 'Base System' will not be upgraded because its in the 'FreeBSD-base'
repo.
Hi vermaden,
Oh yes, that does what I asked for. Thank you!
For completeness reasons I think it would be nice to add an option to
pkg to invert matches. Maybe it should invert -r as well!
Regards,
Nikos
