You can pretty easily get back your previous behavior though, put

```julia
import Pkg

function Pkg_update()
    pkgs = readlines(joinpath(homedir(), ".julia", "REQUIRE"))
    Pkg.add(pkgs)
    Pkg.update(pkgs)
end

```

into `~/.julia/config/startup.jl` and then move the `REQUIRE` file to `~/.julia`.

Use `Pkg_update()`.
