distro vs upstream

linux-cachyos 7.1.2-2-cachyos → upstream Linux 7.1.2

Compares a distro package against its resolved upstream base. Upstream commits, file changes, distro deltas, and security applicability use the same comparison workspace as release-to-release comparisons.

How to read this comparison

Upstream commits and files show what the package inherits from the resolved base release. Distro changes show package/source/config/build differences that may not appear as upstream Linux commits.

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

Upstream authorship and downstream package work are tracked separately so attribution remains accurate.

Security and applicability notes

Security relevance is evaluated from upstream commit evidence, CVE links, stable backport trailers, and distro config/package applicability.
