cdist-type__package_upgrade_all - Upgrade all the installed packages

16.116.2. DESCRIPTION

16.116.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS

None

16.116.4. OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

type

The package manager to use. Default is determined based on the $os explorer variable. e.g. * apt for Debian * yum for Red Hat * pacman for Arch Linux

16.116.5. BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

apt-dist-upgrade

Do dist-upgrade instead of upgrade.

apt-with-new-pkg

Allow installing new packages when used in conjunction with upgrade. This is useful if the update of an installed package requires new dependencies to be installed. Instead of holding the package back upgrade will upgrade the package and install the new dependencies. Note that upgrade with this option will never remove packages, only allow adding new ones.

apt-clean

Clean out the local repository of retrieved package files.

16.116.6. EXAMPLES

# Force use of a specific package manager
