Allow updating subset of packages

N/A

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

Currently, it is only possible to update all packages. For users with many packages, updating all at once makes it difficult to debug potential issues or incorporate new features into workflow. Manually pinning/unpinning subsets of packages is not convenient and updating only specified packages fits in line with a typical package manager.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow updating subset of packages.

Additional context

Considering that this is a simple feature request, throwing an idea for one more useful and related feature request: show updates of packages in the form of new commits messages for each package updated. This is convenient to give an idea of what changes can be expected from the update without manually checking themselves in e.g. a web browser. This is a common feature in similar package managers in other applications like vim and system package managers.

Supported in #2841

show updates of packages in the form of new commits messages for each package updated

There's no plan to support it because it doesn't integrate well with the current UI, which would cause the output to become very long. Perhaps it could be considered when the package manager UI is refactored into an interactive one in the future, but that won't happen anytime soon.
