Issue with upgrading libiconv and zlib

[gngrossi]

After upgrading meta from v0.8.0 to v0.8.1, I tried to upgrade other available packages.

bash-5.2$ zopen list --upgradeable Package Installed Available Latest Tag libiconv 1.17.20231115_151102 1.17 master.20231115_100536 zlib heads.v1.3.20231122_215452 1.3 develop.20231123_025537

bash-5.2$ zopen upgrade libiconv

• Querying remote repo for latest package information. Installing package: libiconv Package libiconv is already installed at the requested version: 1.17.20231115_151102 and due to the absence of the 'reinstall' flag, will not be reinstalled.

bash-5.2$ zopen upgrade zlib

• Querying remote repo for latest package information. Installing package: zlib Package zlib is already installed at the requested version: heads.v1.3.20231122_215452 and due to the absence of the 'reinstall' flag, will not be reinstalled.

I believe this is happening because we have two release lines for libiconv and zlib. A DEV and STABLE release line. It should default to STABLE though.

Looks like we're not checking the tag in zopen-query as we do in install: https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/meta/blob/main/bin/zopen-install#L206

Note the "--upgradeable" parameter is undocumented (as in not in --help output) and not for general usage at this time as it has issues in it's current form [it sort of works in some scenarios]

[gngrossi]

For now, what is the command to list installed packages available for upgrade? thanks

[peter-sylvester]

I'd like to share a little miniscript that I use to upgrade. The reason for removing old versions is space. Of course, from time to time a zopen list to find 'Not installed' stuff.

for p in zopen list --upgradeable --no-header --no-version|xargs;do echo " $p ";zopen upgrade -y $p;zopen clean -u $p;zopen clean -c;done

Thanks, btw you can use ``` for formatting code (https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#fenced-code-blocks)

Ouups, my simple copy/paste ruined the example. The highlighted command is enclosed in backquotes. Or, I kind of have a rather negative opinion of (aka often hate) these smart editors. :-) The fix is left as an exercise to the benevolent readers.

I was able to upgrade zlib but can't upgrade libiconv or am I running the latest? thanks
