Problem

Currently, wsk package bind can only create bindings, but not update them. Because it always sets overwrite=false.

Proposal

Would be nice to have either

• new update command such as wsk package bind-update
• always have wsk package bind set ovewrite=true

Motivation

Updating a package binding in one go is a useful feature to do e.g. "stack flips" with openwhisk, switching to a new code version deployed in a different package.

Details

I haven't found another way to update a package with wsk. Updating the binding works with the openwhisk HTTP API when setting overwrite=true:

https://openwhisk-service.com/api/v1/namespaces/<ns>/packages/<pkg>?overwrite=true

Example curl to update that <package> binds to <target-package:

curl -H "Authorization: Basic <auth>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"binding":{"namespace":"<target-namespace>","name":"<target-package>"}}' \
    https://<apihost>/api/v1/namespaces/<namespace>/packages/<package>?overwrite=true
