10 bpkg pkg-update|update [options] [vars] --all|-a
11 bpkg pkg-update|update [options] [vars] (--all-pattern <pattern>)...

14 The pkg-update command updates the specified packages (the first form),
15 all the held packages (the second form, see bpkg-pkg-status(1)), or all
16 the held packages that match any of the specified wildcard patterns
17 (the third form). Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of these
18 packages can be also updated by specifying the --immediate|-i or --re‐
19 cursive|-r options, respectively. Underneath, this command doesn't do
20 much more than run b update (or one of its update-for-* variants; see
21 --for|-f). In the first form the specified packages must have been pre‐
22 viously configured with bpkg-pkg-build(1) or bpkg-pkg-configure(1).
23 Additional command line variables (vars, normally config.*) can be
25 passed to the build system. Such variables apply to all the specified
26 packages but can also be specified to only apply to specific packages
27 using the argument grouping mechanism (see bpkg-argument-grouping(1)
28 for details).
29
31 --all|-a
32 Update all held packages.
33 --all-pattern pattern
35 Update held packages that match the specified wildcard pattern.
36 Repeat this option to match multiple patterns. Note that you may
37 need to quote the pattern to prevent expansion by your shell.
38 --immediate|-i
40 Also update immediate dependencies.
41 --recursive|-r
43 Also update all dependencies, recursively.
44 --for|-f operation
46 Instead of the default update build system operation, perform
47 the update-for-operation variant where operation is normally in‐
48 stall or test.
49 --directory|-d dir
51 Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current work‐
52 ing directory.
