I have the following packages installed with Chocolatey.
choco list --localonly
> choco list --localonly Chocolatey v0.9.9.2 adobereader 11.0.10 ccleaner 5.03.5128 chocolatey 0.9.9.2 ConEmu 14.9.23.0 gimp 2.8.14.1 git 1.9.5.20150114 One week later the GIMP package updated to 2.9 and the Git package is updated to 1.9.6 on the chocolatey.org website, but other packages are not updated.
Two weeks later I need to run a command in cmd to show the following result:
> some command git current local version (1.9.5), latest version (1.9.6) is available for upgrade gimp current local version (2.8), latest version (2.9) is available for upgrade What is the good way to compose such command? (Or if there is a command option built into Chocolatey itself, what it would be?)

Note: You likely need to do the following commands in an administrative cmd/powershell prompt.
If you have choco 0.9.9.6+, you can use the outdated command.
choco outdated If you have 0.9.9+ installed:
choco upgrade all --noop If you have version 0.9.8.33 or below installed:
choco version all Following that, if you actually want to upgrade - you can follow with:
cup all -y Note: -y will only work with 0.9.8.33+.
Just run the case, and choco said I should use this
choco list -lo That did the trick for me, so here 2c from me.
Addition from @feventcoder
choco version all will result you a warning of
DEPRECATION NOTICE -
choco versioncommand is deprecated and will be removed in version 1.0.0. Please usechoco upgrade <pgkname> --noopinstead.
So it mean you should learn that it might not support the version command anymore.
Sure that you need to upgrade your chocolatey version to 0.9.9+ or latest.
By the command choco upgrade chocolatey
And then call cup all -y to install all upgrade to your system.
Use "cver"
The quickest way if you want to find only the local packages installed is to issue the following command to a DOS prompt:
cver all -localonly Or even easier to remember and type:
cver all -lo This avoids unnecessary querying.
