Apt Selective Upgrades

Simplify your system upgrade workflow using this set of scripts. Without the need for any overly complicated tools; just select the packages you want to upgrade using your favorite editor and let APT download and install them immediately. Or choose to only download a selection of packages and install them later.

Usage

If necessary, edit file to choose the location of the file containing the temporary package list. Then, execute any of the three script, like:

./apt-selective-upgrades.sh

To select packages and install them immediately, use apt-selective-upgrades.sh

To select packages, but only download them, use apt-selective-upgrades-download-only.sh

To install previously selected and downloaded packages, use apt-selective-upgrades-install-only.sh

Note

Please note: environment variable EDITOR is used to open you favorite editor. Make sure this variable is set properly, otherwise it may not open your editor of choice.
