Nope, the correct way is sudo xbps-install -Suv firefox.

Check out xi from xtools.

Why, it's not the right package name?

[–] mcz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, xi is just a handy script that does sudo xbps-install with less typing and also helps with installing local packages (ones you built with xbps-src).

Oh, cool, didn't know that, thanks 👍.

But xbps is still keeps track of installed packages, right, xi is just a script.
