README

pkgtreediff

Hackage [GPL-3 license](LICENSE) Stackage Lts Stackage Nightly Build status

pkgtreediff compares the NVRs (name-version-release) of RPM packages in OS package trees and/or installations:

  • An OS tree can be referenced by an url or directory containing a tree of rpm files.
  • A koji tag.
  • A file containing a list(s) of rpm NVRs can also be compared.
  • Commands can also be used to get installed RPMs, eg:
    • "rpm -qa"
    • "ssh myhost rpm -qa"
    • "podman run --rm myimage rpm -qa"

Usage examples

Containers

Compare the content of two rpm based containers (new added packages in fedora:31)

```bash session $ pkgtreediff --new "podman run --rm fedora:30 rpm -qa" "podman run --rm fedora:31 rpm -qa" libgomp.x86_64 9.2.1-1.fc31 tss2.x86_64 1331-2.fc31 yum.noarch 4.2.9-5.fc31


### Package trees

Summary

Total packages: 1690 -> 942

Hosts

Compare the packages on local and another host:

pkgtreediff "rpm -qa" "ssh otherhost rpm -qa"

Any types of sources can be compared, together with the use of flags.

Koji

Compare koji tags using the koji://[email protected] syntax:

pkgtreediff koji://[email protected] koji://[email protected]

Please avoid using koji tag to compare full release as it is more efficient to query URL or CMD trees.

Builds

Builds are available in copr for Fedora, EPEL, and OpenSuSE (more details).

RPM version ordering

RPM version ordering is somewhat involved https://blog.jasonantman.com/2014/07/how-yum-and-rpm-compare-versions/. For example "1.2.1rc1" < "1.2.1" (similarly for tilde).

pkgtreediff tries to implement roughly the rpmvercmp() algorithm, but it has not been verified to behave identically.
