💅 BKR-DISTROS-EDIT-VERSION(1) — the Beaker glow-up page 🎀

okay so bestie, you know how sometimes a whole bunch of distros are just sitting there with the wrong version and you're like "not me having to fix all of these one by one 😭"? yeah. this is the tool for that. it's the bkr-distros-edit-version command from the Beaker manual — section 1, commands, if you're keeping track 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

bkr-distros-edit-version — edit the version of Beaker distros. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bkr distros-edit-version [options] --name <name> <version>

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

here's the tea: you give it a version (think something like RedHatEnterpriseLinux8.0 or Fedora30), and it applies that version to all the matching distros in Beaker. every single one that matches. slay. 🔥

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --name <name> — every distro with this name gets updated, periodt. the <name> is lowkey a SQL LIKE pattern, so the % character matches any substring — iconic for doing things in bulk ✨

the common bkr options are all described in the Options section of bkr(1) — go check that out if you want the full rundown 🧚

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

non-zero on error, otherwise zero. simple as that, no cap 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

set the version for all RHEL5.6 Server nightly trees from a particular date:

bkr distros-edit-version --name "RHEL-8.0.0-20190410%" RedHatEnterpriseLinux8.0

ate and left no crumbs 🍓

🙈 NOTES 🙈

heads up bestie — this command is only available to Beaker administrators. if that's not you, it's giving locked door energy 🔒
