conan pkglist

Warning

This feature is experimental and subject to breaking changes. See the Conan stability section for more information.

Perform different operations over package lists:

• Merge multiple package lists (deep merge) into a single one: conan pkglist merge

• Find in which remotes packages from the cache can be found: conan pkglist find-remote

The conan pkglist merge command can merge multiple package lists into a single one:

$ conan pkglist merge --list=list1.json --list=list2.json --format=json > result.json

The merge will be a deep merge, different versions can be added, and within versions multiple revisions can be added, and for every recipe revision multiple package_ids can be also accumulated.

                        remotes available)

The conan pkglist find-remote command will take a package list of packages in the cache (key "Local Cache") and look for them in the defined remotes. For every exact occurence in a remote matching the recipe, version, recipe-revision, etc, an entry in the resulting “package lists” will be added for that specific remote.
