SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps team pack repositories and installed packs current by detecting available updates and reporting what changed without making configuration or attachment changes for the user.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source inspection: Show configured pack sources, branches, refresh intervals, and cache state to determine where updates can come from.
  • Refresh and compare: Run repository refreshes, compare installed pack versions, and clearly report new, updated, and unchanged packs.
  • Guided troubleshooting: Identify missing packs, suggest source configuration entries, and flag potentially stale lock files for reproducibility workflows.
  • Use case: A maintainer wants to ensure all team packs are up-to-date before a release; run the workflow to refresh sources, list changes, and get actionable steps to attach updated packs.

Quick Start

Run aroom pack refresh to fetch updates and then run aroom pack list to compare installed versions and report new or updated packs.

Compare installed pack versions by running repository refreshes across configured pack sources, which clearly reports new, updated, and unchanged packs without making configuration or attachment changes.

Can I detect updates for a specific pack instead of all packs?▼

Yes, you can detect updates for a specific pack or all packs by operating across configured pack sources to refresh repositories, compare installed pack versions, and report the changes.
