Visualize update details with eopkg

elusian

Hello
eopkg has the subcommand list-updates which shows the updates currently available. However, it just shows the name of the package and not the version.
Using -i or -l I can get more information about what is currently installed, but still nothing about what the update brings.
Is there a way to get something like

Package Name | Version | Rel. | New Version | New Rel. |
foo          | 2.2.22  | 315  | 2.2.46      | 318      |
bar          | 4.1.1   | 27   | 4.1.2       | 29       |
....

Gotta go gaming now, here's a first rough starting point

eopkg lu | cut -d" " -f1 | xargs eopkg info | grep Name | cut -d" " -f18- | awk -F ',' '{if (NR%2==1) print $1$2$3; else print "Update"$2$3"\n"}'

which prints:

pipewire version: 0.3.38 release: 31
Update version: 0.3.38 release: 32

pipewire-32bit version: 0.3.38 release: 31

I was more searching for a flag for eopkg in case I was missing it, since parsing the output of an high level command is usually not a good idea (apt complains if you try, for example).
I would make this a feature request, but it doesn't make a lot of sense considering that eopkg will be replaced 😅

That said, the one liner is great, I got to save it as an alias.

Thanks a lot!
