Bulk package updates using Conda

Is there a way (using conda update) that I can list outdated packages and select or bulk update (compatible) packages in Anaconda?

It doesn't make much sense updating the packages individually as there are hundreds of them.

# list packages that can be updated
conda search --outdated

# update all packages prompted(by asking the user yes/no)
conda update --all

# update all packages unprompted
conda update --all -y

Before you proceed to conda update --all command, first update conda with conda update conda command if you haven't update it for a long time. It happent to me (Python 2.7.13 on Anaconda 64 bits).

the Conda Package Manager is almost ready for beta testing, but it will not be fully integrated until the release of Spyder 2.4 (https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Roadmap). As soon as we have it ready for testing we will post something on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spyderlib). Be sure to subscribe

Cheers!

You want conda update --all.

conda search --outdated will show outdated packages, and conda update --all will update them (note that the latter will not update you from Python 2 to Python 3, but the former will show Python as being outdated if you do use Python 2).
