|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is used to produce a report of non-base software packages
|
|
installed using the
|
|
.Xr pkg_add 1
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each package's version number is checked against one of two sources to
|
|
see if that package may require updating. If the package contains
|
|
information about its origin in the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
ports tree, and a version number can be determined from the port's
|
|
.Pa Makefile ,
|
|
then the version number from the
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
will be used to determine whether the installed package is up-to-date
|
|
or requires updating.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no origin for a package can be found, or if the port's
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
cannot be located,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search for the package in the ports collection index file
|
|
(typically
|
|
.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX-5 ) .
|
|
Any matching version number(s) there will be used to determine whether
|
|
the installed package is up-to-date or requires updating.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Generally, using the version number from a port's
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
will provide a more accurate result, since, unlike the index file, it
|
|
provides an unambiguous current version number, even when multiple
|
|
versions of a port exist in the ports collection.
|
|
Moreover, the ports collection index file is only updated at
|
|
intervals, meaning that it may not completely reflect the version
|
|
numbers of the software contained in the ports collection.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each package name is printed, along with a one-character status flag:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Li =
|
|
The installed version of the package is current.
|
|
.It Li \&<
|
|
The installed version of the package is older than the current version.
|
|
.It Li \&>
|
|
The installed version of the package is newer than the current version.
|
|
This situation can arise with an out-of-date index file, or when
|
|
testing new ports.
|
|
.It Li \&?
|
|
The installed package does not appear in the index.
|
|
This could be due to an out of date index or a package taken from a PR
|
|
that has not yet been committed.
|
|
.It Li *
|
|
There are multiple versions of a particular software package
|
|
listed in the index file.
|
|
Examples from the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
ports collection are the Tcl toolkit or the
|
|
.Tn EMACS
|
|
editor.
|
|
.It Li \&!
|
|
The installed package exists in the index but for some reason,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
was unable to compare the version number of the installed package
|
|
with the corresponding entry in the index.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility supports several command-line arguments:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Print help message.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Limit the output to those packages whose status flag matches the
|
|
character(s) in
|
|
.Ar limchar .
|
|
More than one character can be specified in
|
|
.Ar limchar .
|
|
Note that because some of the status flag characters are also special
|
|
to the shell, it is best to quote
|
|
.Ar limchar
|
|
with single quotes.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Limit the output to those packages whose status flag doesn't match
|
|
.Ar limchar .
|
|
You may specify more than one character to match in
|
|
.Ar limchar .
|
|
Note that because some of the status flag characters are also special
|
|
to the shell, it is best to quote
|
|
.Ar limchar
|
|
with single quotes.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Limit the output to those packages whose names match a given
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Test a pair of version number strings and exit.
|
|
The output consists of one of the single characters
|
|
.Li =
|
|
(equal),
|
|
.Li \&<
|
|
(right-hand number greater), or
|
|
.Li \&>
|
|
(left-hand number greater) on standard output.
|
|
This flag is mostly useful for scripts or for testing.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Enable verbose output. Verbose output includes some English-text
|
|
interpretations of the version number comparisons, as well as the
|
|
version numbers compared for each package. Non-verbose output is
|
|
probably easier for programs or scripts to parse.
|
|
.It Ar index
|
|
Specify the index to be used as a basis of comparison. This index can
|
|
be specified as a filename (in the local file system) or a URL. Any
|
|
URL understandable by
|
|
.Xr fetch 1
|
|
can be used here. If no
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
file is specified on the command line,
|
|
.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX
|
|
is used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
option has been deprecated and is no longer supported.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr fetch 1 ,
|

.Xr pkg_info 1
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /usr/ports/INDEX -compact
|
|
.It Pa /usr/ports/INDEX
|
|
Default index file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following is a typical invocation of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command, which checks the installed packages against the local ports
|
|
index file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl % pkg_version -v
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command below generates a report against
|
|
the version numbers in the on-line ports collection:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl % pkg_version ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/INDEX
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following command compares two package version strings:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl % pkg_version -t 1.5 1.5.1
