EditPackagesCommandlet

This commandlet lets you modify EditPackages from OS commandline. Handy for install scripts.

Usage

 ucc package.EditPackagesCommandlet +AddPackage +AddAnother -RemovePackage

Paramaters

Parameter Description
–dry-run Simulate the process. Changes will not be saved.
+Package Add a package with the name Package. If it already exists it will be removed first.
-Package Remove the package with the name Package.
Advanced
+?Package Don't add the package when it already exists. '?' can also be used in the commands below.
+Package@index Add the package at the given index.
+Package<Pkg Add the package before Pkg. If Pkg isn't present it will be appended to the list.
+Package>Pkg Add the package after Pkg. If Pkg isn't present it will be appended to the list.

Note, you must use double quotes around the commands that use the before or after modifier when executing it from a commandline.

Examples

 ucc package.EditPackagesCommandlet "+myPackage>Engine" "+MyOtherPackage<myPackage" -MyOldPackage

/*******************************************************************************
    EditPackagesCommandlet
    This commandlet lets you modify EditPackages from OS commandline. Handy for
    install scripts.

    Usage:
        ucc package.EditPackagesCommandlet +AddPackage +AddAnother -RemovePackage

    +?Package
    +Package@index
    +Package<BeforeThisPackage
    +Package>AfterThisPackage

    Otherwise it will be added after the list. If the before or after packages
    don't exist they will be added to the end of the list. Adding a package that
    already exists will first remove it from the old location.
