#44946: Add method of showing installed & available versions of outdated ports at once --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => closed * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * resolution: => invalid Old description:

# port echo outdated # port installed outdated # port list outdated

the first two show me the current installed versions of my outdated ports, the third shows me the available version that i could install

if the set of outdated ports is short, it's easy to run both commands and compare, but its very hard to see what changes will actually happen with a long list

i suspect there may be issues changing the default output format of either command (?) but would it be possible to add a way of optionally seeing both installed + available versions listed side by side?

e.g. by having the installed or available ports shown in verbose mode for one/more of these commands (e.g. port -v list outdated), or by adding an option to one of the commands to show both installed + available versions (e.g. port list -v outdated)

i've looked for other ways of 'joining' this information, and the closest i can find is port -y upgrade outdated, which is about 3x the output and much harder for human-parsing...

this may also (slightly) overlap with #26028, at least in terms of user- interest if not functionality
