Never used help2man but I'll have a look and see whether it works with smart. The problem is that with smart you don't see all the help with "--help", it's smart install --help smart channel --help smart search --help etc..... I doubt help2man will work. >>>> What is the smart similar command for: 'apt --sources security.list >>>> upgrade' This only upgrades the security packages.

Yes, I want it too :) smart upgrade --channel=mychannel smart upgrade --channel=mychannel kde* That would be great.

I already submitted a patch to change "Installed" into "Installing" and "Removed" into "Removing", hence it is currently a mix of active/passive form (it writes "Upgrading" but "Installed"). http://tracker.labix.org/issue72 >>> - - additionally install the 5 currently uninstalled packaged mentioned >>> in "Installed packages" to fulfill the dependencies created by the >>> upgrade process >> That could be clarified by using "--stepped" switch. > > No not at all. I agree, --stepped doesn't quite do the job. "Installed" must be renamed to "Installing". cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDwsJmr3NMWliFcXcRAh+zAKC2ftsWXkilyWyrwrFVETsC0ss8iwCgpL96 mA88bQBdg9e74RwMgeEzWX4= =eRNi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
