This distro comparison combines package/config/build deltas with upstream commit and file evidence where those records are indexed.

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.

Evidence and provenance

Package metadata evidencePackage metadata evidence

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.
