Upgrade Command

Synopsis

dnf5 upgrade [options] [<package-spec>|@<group-spec>|@<environment-spec>...]

Description

The upgrade command in DNF5 is used for upgrading installed packages, groups or environments to newer available version.

Since groups and environments are not versioned the upgrade basically means a synchronization with the currently available definition. In addition group upgrade also upgrades all packages the group contains and environment upgrade also upgrades all groups the environment contains.
