backplane/update_requirements repository overview

⁠update_requirements

python:3-alpine⁠-based dockerization of update_requirements⁠, the utility for updating requirements files

The program updates Python requirements.txt files (optionally in-place), sorts them, and updates the version numbers therein. NOTE: Currently, version numbers are updated without regard for the version comparison operators already in the requirements file, this can do bad things in non-trivial requirements files. This limitation is likely to change in the future.

The source code for this image is hosted on GitHub in the backplane/conex repo⁠.
