# Description
|
|
|
|
This command shows the differences between the two closures *before*
|
|
and *after* with respect to the addition, removal, or version change
|
|
of packages, as well as changes in store path sizes.
|
|
|
|
For each package name in the two closures (where a package name is
|
|
defined as the name component of a store path excluding the version),
|
|
if there is a change in the set of versions of the package, or a
|
|
change in the size of the store paths of more than 8 KiB, it prints a
|
|
line like this:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
dolphin: 20.08.1 → 20.08.2, +13.9 KiB
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No size change is shown if it's below the threshold. If the package
|
|
does not exist in either the *before* or *after* closures, it is
|
|
represented using `∅` (empty set) on the appropriate side of the
|
|
arrow. If a package has an empty version string, the version is
|
|
rendered as `ε` (epsilon).
|
|
|
|
There may be multiple versions of a package in each closure. In that
|
|
case, only the changed versions are shown. Thus,
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
libfoo: 1.2, 1.3 → 1.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
leaves open the possibility that there are other versions (e.g. `1.1`)
|
|
that exist in both closures.
