pkg-upgrade(8): consider listing candidates when there's debug output with pkg(8) option -d

[grahamperrin]

Please, is it feasible to present a list of candidates?

If not a list: maybe something more verbose than the count (in the example below, 4).

% pkg -d upgrade -r poudriere -n
DBG(1)[74170]> pkg initialized
Checking for upgrades (4 candidates): 100%
Processing candidates (4 candidates): 100%
DBG(1)[74170]> Binary> loading //usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-default/All/meson-0.60.2.pkg
Checking integrity...DBG(1)[74170]> check integrity for 1 items added
 done (0 conflicting)
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
        meson: 0.60.1_1 -> 0.60.2 [poudriere]

Number of packages to be upgraded: 1
% 

Just a list of candidates.

(I should not expect verbosity to include reasons for whittling down e.g. from four to one.)

Thanks

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg-upgrade&sektion=8&manpath=Ports#DESCRIPTION describes candidates (thanks), however I did some digging around my example above, couldn't tell/guess which three of the four candidates were ruled out.

Through experimentation (not from the manual page) I discovered that -d can be specified more than once.

Cross-reference: FreeBSD bug 266581 – ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg(8) should mention --debug verbosity increases with -dd, -ddd and -dddd
