Question: How can I update my entire Conary-based system without updating each software package individually?


Answer: Conary has two different methods to perform system-wide updates:

  • Update by group to check for updates in a specified group, meaning all packages and sub-groups that group references. Every Conary-based system has at least one top-level group that defines the distribution, and other groups are installed by or with that group. Use the conary update command on a group as described in the Update by Group section.
  • Use conary updateall to check the system's top-level group plus any other troves that are not referenced by any group.
