NAME

bdep-update – update project in build configurations

SYNOPSIS

bdep update [options] [pkg-spec] [cfg-spec] [cfg-var...]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
pkg-spec = (pkg | (--directory|-d pkg-dir))... | prj-spec
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

DESCRIPTION

The update command updates the project packages in one or more build configurations. Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of the project packages can be updated by specifying the --immediate|-i or --recursive|-r options, respectively.

Underneath update executes the bpkg-pkg-update(1) command which itself is not much more than the build system update operation (see b(1) for details). As a result, the main utility of this command is the ability to refer to build configurations by names and to project packages implicitly via the current working directory as well as to update dependencies.

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on specifying projects and configurations. Optional cfg-var... are the additional configuration variables to pass to the build system.

UPDATE OPTIONS

--immediate|-i
Also update immediate dependencies.
--recursive|-r
Also update all dependencies, recursively.
--all|-a

--config|-c dir
Specify the build configuration as a directory.
--directory|-d dir
Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.
--config-name|-n name
Specify the build configuration as a name.
--config-id num
Specify the build configuration as an id.
