6 bdep-update - update project in build configurations

9 bdep update [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]
10 cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
12 pkg-spec = (--directory|-d pkg-dir)... | prj-spec
13 prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

16 The update command updates the project packages in one or more build
17 configurations. Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of the
18 project packages can be updated by specifying the --immediate|-i or
19 --recursive|-r options, respectively.
20 Underneath update executes the bpkg-pkg-update(1) command which itself
22 is not much more than the build system update operation (see b(1) for
23 details). As a result, the main utility of this command is the ability
24 to refer to build configurations by names and to project packages im‐
25 plicitly via the current working directory as well as to update depen‐
26 dencies.
27 If no project or package directory is specified, then the current work‐
29 ing directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the
30 default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for
31 details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var...
32 are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.
33
35 --immediate|-i
36 Also update immediate dependencies.
37 --recursive|-r
39 Also update all dependencies, recursively.
40 --all|-a
42 Use all build configurations.
43 --config|-c dir
45 Specify the build configuration as a directory.
46 --directory|-d dir
48 Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than
49 in the current working directory.
50 --config-name|-n name
52 Specify the build configuration as a name.
53 --config-id num
55 Specify the build configuration as an id.
