NAME
apk upgrade - upgrade installed packages
SYNOPSIS
apk upgrade [<options>...] [<packages>...]
DESCRIPTION
apk upgrade upgrades installed packages to the latest version available from configured package repositories (see apk-repositories(5)). When no packages are specified, all packages are upgraded if possible. If list of packages is provided, only those packages are upgraded along with needed dependencies.
OPTIONS
apk upgrade supports the commit options described in apk(8), as well as the following options:
-a, --available
Reset all packages to versions available from current
repositories. This resets all versioned dependencies in world (see
apk-world(5)). Additionally, packages are selected from active
repositories if possible even if it means replacing or downgrading the
package.
This is useful to reset system against new set of packages after updating repositories.
--ignore
Upgrade all other packages than the ones listed. This
inverts the given package name list to mean packages that should not be
upgraded.
-l, --latest
Always choose the latest package by version. However, the
versions considered are based on the package pinning. Primarily this overrides
the default heuristic and will cause an error to displayed if all dependencies
cannot be satisfied.
--no-self-upgrade
Do not do an early upgrade of the 'apk-tools'
package.
--prune
Prune the world by removing packages which are no
longer available from any configured repository.
--self-upgrade-only
Only perform a self-upgrade of the 'apk-tools'
package.
