Function lal::update [−] [src]

pub fn update<T: CachedBackend + ?Sized>(
    manifest: &Manifest, 
    backend: &T, 
    components: Vec<String>, 
    save: bool, 
    savedev: bool, 
    env: &str
) -> LalResult<()>

Update specific dependencies outside the manifest

Multiple "components=version" strings can be supplied, where the version is optional. If no version is supplied, latest is fetched.

If installation was successful, the fetched tarballs are unpacked into ./INPUT. If one save or savedev was set, the fetched versions are also updated in the manifest. This provides an easy way to not have to deal with strict JSON manually.
