Help: Compare package status

This dialog allows you to compare the package status between two clients. For the comparison, select the data sources for the left and the right column at "1st client or status file" und "2nd client or status file". If you have accessed this dialog from the "Clients overview" page, the first two clients that have been selected on that page will be preselected. If instead you want to do a comparison between a different set of clients, please select them from the corresponding list and click on "Use client". If you would like to use a previously saved package status file, please select it and upload it. It is possible to compare between two clients, two package status files or a client and a package status file.

To start the comparison, click on "Compare package status".

The comparison takes the package names, version numbers and installation status into account. This information, if available, will be listed in the respective columns "Pakage name", "Version" and "Status". In the column "<=|>", you can see if the package is available only in the left ("<") or right (">") column or if no match could be found ("|"). If the package exists on both sides ("="), version numbers and installation status will also be compared. Differences that have been found will be highlighted by color. At the end of the table, a summary of the comparison will be displayed.
