Smart runtime package manager

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how smart works. I've been successful to create a repo,
update and install from it.
Is there smart install option to force install all the more recent packages
without having to type the package name for each individual package?
Something like update all to bring the target up-to-date in single command.

Thanks

"smart upgrade" should do this.

Cheers,

Yes, you should enable the PR service:
