slackpkg, download upgradeable packages without installing?
by coralfang from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FFYZ)
Hi. Is there a simple way to download any upgradable packages without installing them? (for example, when the system is in use, so that it can all be upgraded later offline).
There is this for downloading a package (or list of them)
Code:slackpkg download <package name>But ideally i would like to do it for the list of packages that pop up in the menu for:
Code:slackpkg upgrade-allMy first thought was whether you could combine the two commands, but doesn't seem capable of doing that:
Code:slackpkg upgrade-all download
upgrade-all: Ignoring extra arguments: download
