Pipenv install --selective-upgrade

Issue description

Attempting just to upgrade one package, with out updating other packages.

Steps to replicate

Git clone - https://github.com/saisankargochhayat/pipenvTest
Couple of scenarios I tried out just to update one package requests -

• pipenv install requests==2.24.0 --keep-outdated
  Just updates the package version, but not the hashes in the Pipfile.lock, pins down in Pipfile
• pipenv install --selective-upgrade requests==2.24.0
  Just updates the package version, but not the hashes in the Pipfile.lock, pins down in Pipfile
• pipenv install requests==2.24.0
  Updates both requests and semver to their latest versions and the hashes.
• pipenv update --selective-upgrade requests
  Updates both requests and semver to their latest versions and the hashes.

Seems like pipenv install {dependency}=={package_version} --keep-outdated earlier did the trick, but now it works, but just misses out on the new hash. Is there a new way to achieve this?

pipenv install requests==2.24.0 --keep-outdated still doesn't seem to be working with Pipenv 2020.8.13 😞

I have been having this issue and have found a workaround.

# Install the package
# This will update the version number in Pipfile and the Pipfile.lock - but not the package hashes
# I'm not sure if --keep-outdated does anything here, I get the same results without it but I include it to be safe
pipenv install --keep-outdated --selective-upgrade package==0.0.1

# This will update the hashes for the modified package only
pipenv lock --keep-outdated

The only downside is that it seems to add the new hashes and keeps the old ones, but that doesn't seem too big of a deal to me.

--keep-outdated and likely --selective-upgrade are deprecated/slated for removal. I've been working on an alternative command that solves the kind of problems these other flags caused. Checkout out: #5617
