updt-0.1.1 is not a library.

updt

A cross-platform system update helper written in Rust.

updt checks upgrade candidates and lets you choose what to upgrade interactively. It mirrors the behavior of the original script, but the workflow is implemented in Rust.

Supported update targets

  • Homebrew (macOS)
  • npm global packages
  • cargo installed crates (via cargo-install-update)
  • rustup toolchains
  • paru AUR packages (Arch Linux)
  • flatpak apps (Arch Linux profile)
  • pacman packages (Arch Linux)

System policy

updt enables targets by OS profile.

  • macOS: Homebrew, npm, cargo, rustup
  • Arch Linux: npm, cargo, rustup, paru, pacman, flatpak
  • other systems: all targets disabled by policy

Install

cargo install updt

Run

updt

The program does 3 stages.

  1. Check upgrade candidates.
  2. Ask for per-target confirmation.
  3. Run upgrades for selected targets.

Notes

  • cargo checks require cargo-install-update in PATH.
  • pacman upgrade uses sudo pacman -Syu.
  • updt calls existing package manager commands and forwards their output.
