Make update

The make update command has been merged into Drush core.

Overview

Make update is a drush extension that facilitates updating a drush .make file

When issued, make update will list recommended versions of all the modules specified in your .make file

Usage

Run the command by issuing: drush make-update [MAKE], substituting [MAKE] with the location of your make file.

The command will then analyse your .make file and list all recommended versions for the modules found within your .make file.

If a version specified in your make file is equal to the recommended version to be installed, the module will be omitted from the list. If not, the recommended version will be listed in the result of the computation.

Installation and requirements

You can either install this module globally or within your project. (If you wish to install the module system wide, make sure your current working directory is not a project root).

1. Download & Install drush
2. Download the make update project with drush dl make_update
3. You are ready to roll!

Example

In this example, the site contains two modules (media and backup and migrate) and a theme (bootstrap). Backup migrate is up to date, but media and bootstrap are not.

Input

drush make-update modules.make

Result:

The following snippet will be the result from the invocation of drush make-update:

projects[media][version] = "1.4"
projects[media][subdir] = "contrib"

projects[bootstrap][type] = "theme"
projects[bootstrap][version] = "3.0"
projects[bootstrap][subdir] = "contrib"

Because backup & migrate was not listed, it was not outdated; only media and bootstrap were. Copy the result of the invocation into your .make file and run drush make in order to update your modules to their latest recommended versions
