 |
|
hi.
emerge sometimes does a subpar job in checking packages for upgrades because it uses a combination of the depend hierarchy and the world file to crawl the package list. often packages go unnoticed that have updates available and for some reason 'emerge -Dtv world' and 'emerge -Dtvu world' usually give very different results.
in the past i've used this one-liner to check every package on my system for updates:
| Code: | | emerge -up --nodeps $(qpkg -I -nc | awk '{printf $1 " "}') |
since qpkg has been depreciated, i'd like to try and replace it with something else. equery doesn't seem to provide this function and i don't know bash well enough to do this and keep it simple. does anyone know a quick, simple way to list all installed packages?

equery list. (Unfortunately rather slow.)

oh, i didn't know you could leave out the pkgspec.  you're right though, way too slow.
this is what i came up with after poking around in qpkg.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
#
# checkup - check for upgraded packages emerge may have missed.
emerge -up --nodeps $( find /var/db/pkg/ -iname "*.ebuild" \
| cut -f5,7 -d/ \
| sed -e 's:\.ebuild$::; s:-r[0-9]*$::; s:-[^-]*$::; /^$/d' \
| sort \
| uniq ) |
it seems to work. i'm not sure if it'll catch package names that end in a number (libstdc++v3).

Or:
| Code: | | eix -Icn | col -b | egrep '\[.*\]' | awk '{print $3}' |
