Rage Against The Outdated Machine

Project description

  • Supports macOS, FreeBSD (freebsd-update, portsnap, pkg), Debian and derivatives (apt-get), Red Hat and derivatives (yum), ClamAV/freshclam, Homebrew, Cask, Perlbrew, CPAN Minus (cpanm), pyenv, pip, rbenv, gem, npm, Metasploit Framework, Git repositories, and Microsoft AutoUpdate via a plugin architecture

  • Markdown-formatted output with all update and informational commands shown with their output and in pretty terminal colors via the blessings package; also allows subsequent processing by redirecting or piping

  • Dry run mode (-n) processes configuration file and command line arguments, performs checks and intermediate processing, prints commands to show what will run given configuration and system settings, but doesn’t actually update anything

  • Configuration via ~/.ratom/config.json or an argument to -c option; allows switching the ordering of plugins (not recommended), explicit enabling or disabling of plugins, and specifying a different path for the log file

  • Logs intermediate processing commands and other informational and error messages to the configured log location (~/.ratom/ratom.log by default) or an argument to -l option

  • Shows full configuration details if --show-config option is used; be sure to combine with -n if you don’t want to update anything

  • Each plugin provides a check function to determine whether to run and a main function that performs the update

  • Full documentation in HTML (online, gzipped tar) and PDF (view, download) via Sphinx
