Hi Dave,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not quite sure I see the use of it!
You could achieve it with the following:
wajig new | tail +3 | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs wajig install
or
wajig newupgrades | tail +3 | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs wajig install
... it does need extra work and knowledge of the Linux tools.
For "new" would you really want to install all of the new packages at
any time? I simply cut and past the ones I want onto the command
line.
For "newupgrades" why would you want to do this rather than
"distupgrade"?
They are both easy enough to implement, and as a user you obviously
would find it useful. So I'll do it! Would like to understand how you
find them useful though and I'll document it.
Regards,
Graham
