.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B upgradepkg
|
||
|
|
upgrades a Slackware package from an older version to a
|
||
|
|
newer one. It does this by
|
||
|
|
.B INSTALLING
|
||
|
|
the new package onto the system, and then
|
||
|
|
.B REMOVING
|
||
|
|
any files from the old package that aren't in the new package.
|
||
|
|
If the old and new packages have the same name, a single argument is all that
|
||
|
|
is required. If the packages have different names, supply the name of the
|
||
|
|
old package followed by a percent symbol (%), then the name of the new package.
|
||
|
|
Do not add any extra whitespace between pairs of old/new package names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If upgradepkg finds more than one installed package matching the old package's
|
||
|
|
name, it will remove them all.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
To upgrade in a directory other than / (such as /mnt):
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
ROOT=/mnt upgradepkg package.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz)
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \--dry-run
|
||
|
|
Output a report about which packages would be installed or upgraded
|
||
|
|
but don't actually perform the upgrades.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \--install-new
|
||
|
|
Normally upgradepkg only upgrades packages that are already installed on the system, and
|
||
|
|
will skip any packages that do not already have a version installed.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.B --install-new
|
||
|
|
is specified, the behavior is modified to install new packages in addition to upgrading
|
||
|
|
existing ones.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \--reinstall
|
||
|
|
Upgradepkg usually skips packages if the exact same package
|
||
|
|
(matching name, version, arch, and build number) is already installed on the system.
|
||
|
|
Use the --reinstall option if you want to upgrade all packages even if the same
|
||
|
|
version is already installed.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \--verbose
|
||
|
|
Show all the gory details of the upgrade.
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
Before upgrading a package, save any configuration files (such as in /etc)
|
||
|
|
that you wish to keep. Sometimes these will be preserved, but it depends on
|
||
|
|
the package structure. If you want to force new versions of the config files
|
||
|
|
to be installed, remove the old ones manually prior to running upgradepkg.
