name: highlight-versions
version: 0.1.3.3
synopsis: Highlight package versions which differ from the latest
version on Hackage
description: This package provides an executable which reads from
stdin and outputs the same thing to stdout,
except that any lines which look like package
identifiers (e.g. foo-0.3.2) are highlighted if
the version does not match the latest version on
Hackage: red if the version is less than the
version on Hackage, green if equal,
or cyan if greater. In
addition, when the versions are unequal the
Hackage version is shown in blue.
.
In particular, it can be useful to pipe the
output of @cabal(-dev) install --dry-run@ through
this program, to aid in checking the install
plan. It's usually a good idea to understand why
an outdated package is being installed; otherwise
it can indicate that something needs to be updated.
.
PLEASE NOTE that highlight-versions does not
actually consult Hackage, but rather your local
index of Hackage cached by cabal. You must call
'cabal update' to be sure that
highlight-versions has access to the latest
information about package versions on Hackage.
