PKG_OUTDATED(1)

💅 PKG_OUTDATED(1) — General Commands Manual 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

pkg_outdated — compare installed packages and the ports tree. that's the whole vibe: installed packages vs. the ports tree, side by side, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pkg_outdated [-mqvx]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pkg_outdated checks installed packages and compares them to the ports tree. it displays packages that may need updating. typical output is a subdirlist with comments, suitable for bulk building. lowkey iconic for that.

Options are as follows:

• -m — causes pkg_outdated to always display the progress meter in cases it would not do so by default. like, even when it'd normally ghost the meter, -m says nope, show it.
• -q — quick check, only verifies the names and not full update signatures. the manpage says use is discouraged, so bestie… maybe don't.
• -v — verbose mode. does not do anything yet. it's giving placeholder energy fr fr.
• -x — disable progress meter. bye-bye meter, no meter arc for you.
