Jim Kring Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 In VIPM, you'll often want to perform an action on a set of packages with the same status (installed, not installed, upgrades available, etc.). For example, let's assume that you want to install all OpenG library packages (which are named "oglib_*") that are not already installed. This task is easy to complete, using the column sorting feature of VIPM. The first step is to type your search string into the quick search box in VIPM. The next step is to sort the package list by the status (glyph) by clicking on the first column heading Then select all of the packages of interest (shift+click or ctrl+click to select multiple) then right-click and choose Install... Finally, confirm the action and the packages will be installed. That's all there is to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
