Subject: Setup: How to automate source download for packages already installed?
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2020 18:06:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANV9t=QhyKaUe0P_TQPNwrDMu0qcLoXhn4bRTNQqkVDhbj7wKQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I would like to reinstall a set of packages and automatically install the
source for only those packages.
The packages are currently installed, and I am using a Setup command line
like this:
<setup> -I -P "package1,package2,package3"
The description in --help for -I states "Automatically install source for
every package installed".
It would seem that, in this case, since the named packages are already
installed and up-to-date, the -I option does nothing.
Is my analysis correct?
If so, what is the way to automate source download for a set of packages
that are already installed?
Bill
