Update Helper - Update should start by the direct packages first #50

Closed jorgetutor closed 1 year ago

jorgetutor commented 1 year ago

In the last integration, we decided to update all packages, not only the direct ones. This creates several commits and a long process that can be optimized.

Solution

Update first the direct packages
Once finished, check again for the full list of the packages to be updated, then remove the ones that initially appeared in the first list. If they are still displayed is because they have already tried but no success so no need to try again

We must change this approach, the issue is the following. With the initially proposed strategy:

The process takes a long time: we are updating from the leaves, so the number of packages is huge!
The commits are not meaningful: the package dependencies and the reference to the main root dependency are lost.

Solution

Rely on the full list of direct packages, even if it is not directly outdated, but its dependencies could.
