OP hasn’t used AUR much
ujust updateIsn’t that just
topgradeI’m honestly not sure. https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/main/system_files/desktop/shared/usr/share/ublue-os/just/10-update.just
The bazzite motd says use
ujust
I saw someone on ml point out that
updateshould come beforeupgradeupdatepulls the metadata about your packages (to see if there are new versions, and which), whileupgradeapplies the patches.I’ve never understood why the update part isn’t included in the upgrade command, since upgrade is useless without it
Upgrade will upgrade the system to whatever is newest in your package cache. If, for example, you’ve just performed a partial upgrade and put yourself into an unsupported state, running
upgradewithout first runningupdatewill put your system back in line with itself.There probably almost never a reason for this, but its the equivalent of running
pacman -uwhich under normal circumstances you will never doSee you perfectly explained why it should be an option to do this but not the default way
Really should keep that PPA use to a minimum. They’re potentially a source of not just instability but possible malware as you’re putting a lot of trust in whoever maintains that resource.
Especially because there is no way to limit the packages installed from a PPA AFAIK. If the PPA has a “new” version of NGINX, or of libc, or of Wayland - you get it, too!!!
You can set packages from a particular repo to a lower priority so that they are only installed when you expressly ask for them
How does one do that, Wise Zorro?

The company I work for has a apt repo that both has some tools I like to install, but also maintains super new versions of certain libraries and kernels with configs that would break my laptop.
So I have the priority set low enough that if a package exists in any other repo it it preferred over my companies version.
Also sorry for the slow reply I forgot to check my messages 😄
No worries, been there! And thank you very much, it will save me tons of time sifting through updates on the VMs that need PPAs!
