# port echo outdated # port installed outdated # port list outdated
the first two show me the current installed versions of my outdated ports, the third shows me the available version that i could install
if the set of outdated ports is short, it's easy to run both commands and compare, but its very hard to see what changes will actually happen with a long list
i suspect there may be issues changing the default output format of either command (?) but would it be possible to add a way of optionally seeing both installed + available versions listed side by side?
e.g. by having the installed or available ports shown in verbose mode for one/more of these commands (e.g. port -v list outdated), or by adding an option to one of the commands to show both installed + available versions (e.g. port list -v outdated)
i've looked for other ways of 'joining' this information, and the closest i can find is port -y upgrade outdated, which is about 3x the output and much harder for human-parsing...
this may also (slightly) overlap with #26028, at least in terms of user-interest if not functionality
