NAME

bdep-update – update project in build configurations

SYNOPSIS

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

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: Use all build configurations.
--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.

DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES

See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the update command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bdep.options
bdep-update.options

The following update command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
