Projects⚑

• New: Version Update Manager.

  Keeping software updated is not easy because:

  • There are many technologies involved: package managers (apt, yum, pip, yarn, npm, ...), programming languages (python, java, ruby, ...), operative systems (Debian, Ubuntu, ...), deployment technologies (OS install, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Helm), template software (cruft).
  • Each software maintainers use a different version system.
  • Even a small increase in a version may break everything.
  • Sometimes only the latest version is the supported version.
  • It's not easy to check if the update went well.
  • You not only need the desired package to be updated, but also it's dependencies.

  I'd like to find a solution that:

  • Gives an overall insight of the update status of a system.
  • Automates the update process.
  • Support both single system installation or aggregator of multiple systems.
