Subject: package-update-all from command line
Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 23:42:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877d6bd2a2.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
I would like to be able to update packages from the command line, and
thanks to Lars, I now can do
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -batch -funcall package-initialize -load ~/.emacs.elc -funcall package-update-all
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Alas, this has two problems:
1. It prints "No packages to update" even though M-x list-packages RET
reports "Packages that can be upgraded: 3; type ‘U’ to mark for upgrading".
2. Loading ~/.emacs.elc is relatively slow (e.g., because it fetches a
remote `remember-data-file'). so I would rather use something smaller.
After much experimentation, it turned out that this is what I need:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -batch -load package -load ~/.config/emacs/package-quickstart.elc \
-eval '(setq package-selected-packages (delete-dups package-activated-list))' \
-eval '(push (quote ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")) package-archives)' \
-eval '(package-update-all nil)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that I had to specify the `QUERY` argument to `package-update-all'
explicitly, otherwise it asked me "3 packages to update. Do it?(yes or no)"
I wonder if this feature is working as intended, or maybe there is a way
to make it nicer.
E.g., I would like to save `package-archives' in
`package-quickstart-file' so that I won't have to specify it on the
command line (it is set in ~/.emacs, of course).
Thanks.
