distro kernel comparison

7.1.1-arch1-1 → 7.1.2-arch1-1

Compares the source Arch linux package release against the target package release. Upstream commits, files, distro changes, and security applicability are separated so users can see what changed and why.

Overview, commits, files, distro changes, authors, security

Every comparison uses the same workspace. This distro comparison adds package/config/build deltas while preserving the upstream commit and file views.

How to read this comparison

The source package is the baseline. The target package is the release being evaluated. Commit and file sections show upstream-derived evidence; distro changes show package, config, build, source, and module deltas that are not necessarily upstream commits.

distro changes

Package, config, build, and patch deltas

These are distro-specific changes between selected package releases. They are searchable and filterable like commits and files.

Showing 4 of 4 distro changes

What this means

  • BORE/BMQ variants are tracked as distro options
  • EEVDF behavior may be tuned differently than upstream defaults

Evidence and provenance

Distro source metadataDelta inferred from package/source metadata

Evidence links connect this row to package metadata, source diffs, config snapshots, patch queues, or explanation records when available.

Author and package maintainer summary

Commit author, committer, reviewer, and distro package maintainer roles are tracked separately. This keeps upstream authorship distinct from downstream package work.

Security and applicability notes

Security notes show whether the package inherits upstream fixes, carries downstream security patches, or changes config/package defaults that affect applicability.
