apt 1.0 has landed in trusty

[kubicle]

Now you can save your keyboard keys by using 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' (it's actually more than just that )

(and of course, "man apt")

Nice little splash of color too.
Slight difference in 'upgrade' between apt and apt-get if I am reading it rite. full-upgrade sounds better too.

I like that. But, do wonder if that caused the HAL effect that Rog132 posted.

This looks handy to merge some of the commands but still need to use apt-get for autoremove, clean & autoclean.

Yes, "apt upgrade" will upgrade packages that will need new dependencies to be installed (which "apt-get upgrade" doesn't), but won't remove anything (you'll need full-upgrade/dist-upgrade for those).

I believe he was experiencing the issues before the apt upgrade.

It also doesn't support "changelog", "purge" or "--purge autoremove [autopurge]" (which I personally find quite useful).

I don't think the goal (at least in the short term) is to replace all apt/dpkg tools, just to provide a nicer front-end for the most commonly used functions.

Nice one @kubicle I am really liking the simplified list,search and show .

When I first read the blog post, I had to ponder this one for a moment:

upgrade: the same as apt-get dist-upgrade --with-new-pkgs

Uh, what's --with-new-pkgs? I've never seen that before. A search through the Git repository for APT shows that it arrived with version 0.9.12:

Add new "apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" option (and add man-page for it).
So "apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" will pull in new dependencies but
never remove packages

Neat! It would seem that the differnce between using or omitting this command option is a middle ground between the apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade that we already know. apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs (or apt upgrade) will pull in new dependencies to satisfy any changed requirements of existing packages, whereas apt-get upgrade won't do that. Furthermore, apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs (or, again, apt upgrade) will not perform any upgrades to existing packages that require removal of other installed packages that don't have upgrade targets of their own. Granted, this is something of an edge case, but it's always nice to have more options.

Interestingly, Aptitude has had full-upgrade for some time now. It is equivalent to the old apt-get dist-upgrade. Aptitude's other upgrade option. safe-upgrade, is the equivalent of the new apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs (or, once again, apt upgrade). Nice to see that APT and Aptitude are converging.

apt-get dist-upgrade --with-new-pkgs

The "--with-new-pkgs" option is meant to be used with "apt-get upgrade" not "apt-get dist-upgrade" (which sort of makes sense as dist-upgrade already installs new packages).

#apt-get dist-upgrade --with-new-pkgs == unknown option "--with-new-pkgs"
#apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs == profit

Nevertheless, you nailed the description of the functionality.

Yeah, thanks for catching that. I had the wrong thing in my copy/pasta buffer and after a couple proofreads I overlooked the dist grrrrrrrrrr. Fixed my post.

Easy mistake to make, Vogt made the same in his blog post

Oh wow, very nice. Makes running system updates a lot quicker. Subtle improvements are always the best.

I like the progressbar something I really missed from apt. I just hope we get some auto completion soon.

Do you mean for the new apt binary? (Because auto-completion works fine for apt-get in zsh and should work fine in bash if you have "bash-completion" installed.)

I'm sure someone will write auto-completion rules for the new apt binary eventually.

[Jimmy.P]

Yes i meant for the new apt binary.
