Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding LZ77. Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension .gz, while keeping the same ownership modes and access and modification times.

Packages by operating system

Compare recorded versions, then open a package for dependency, file, checksum, and repository evidence. Version strings are distribution-specific, not a ranking of newer software.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
