To list all outdated packages on a FreeBSD system, you can use the pkg
command with the outdated
subcommand.
For example, to list all outdated packages on a FreeBSD system, you can use the following command:
pkg outdated
This will list all outdated packages on the system, along with the current version and the latest version available.
You can find more information about the pkg
command and its options in the pkg
documentation or by running the pkg help
command.
Alternatively, you can use the pkg audit
command to list outdated packages that have security vulnerabilities. For example:
pkg audit -F
This will list all outdated packages that have security vulnerabilities, along with the severity of the vulnerability.
You can find more information about the pkg audit
command and its options in the pkg audit
documentation or by running the pkg audit --help
command.
You can also use the freebsd-update
command to check for and install updates for the FreeBSD system. For example:
freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install
The freebsd-update fetch
command fetches the list of available updates from the FreeBSD servers, and the freebsd-update install
command installs the updates.
You can find more information about the freebsd-update
command and its options in the freebsd-update
documentation or by running the freebsd-update --help
command.
