✨ KIWI::SYSTEM::UPDATE ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for kiwi::system::update from KIWI NG — yes, that's the whole name, she's got main character energy 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

kiwi::system::update — no cap, this is literally the command that updates/upgrades your image root system 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the vibe check on how you actually call her:

kiwi-ng [global options] service <command> [<args>]
kiwi-ng system update --help
kiwi-ng system update --root=<directory>
    [--add-package=<name>...]
    [--delete-package=<name>...]

like, that's it. that's the whole entrance ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this 👑 — you already have an image root tree that you prepared earlier, right? update is the command that comes in and refreshes the contents of the root directory according to the repository setup of the image XML description. it's giving glow-up 💫

and because she's an overachiever, update can also be used to add or remove packages from the image root tree. not me having two jobs 😭🫶

🌟 OPTIONS 🌟

  • --add-package=<name> — tell her a package you wanna add (install). and yes bestie, the option can be specified multiple times — stack 'em up 🌈
  • --delete-package=<name> — specify a package you wanna delete. also repeatable, the option can be specified multiple times 🙈
  • --root=<directory> — the path to the root directory of the image. like, where the whole thing lives 💜
