LCG Info: dev4 vs. LCG_108a on x86_64-el9-gcc15-opt

In this section we compare the list of Packages by Category between two Releases. Release1: dev4 Release2: 108a chosen by the user. The comparison is related to a specific platform which is either chosen by the user or taken by default as the first in the list of common platforms between the chosen releases. In this case the platform chosen by default ia: Platform: x86_64-el9-gcc15-opt To proceed with more comparisons, you are invited to select any item from the dropdown list under Release2 which contains only the releases that have common platforms with Release1: dev4 It is also possible to choose among all available Releases from the dropdown list under Release1. In this case the list under Release2 will become composed of all releases with common platforms with Release1. In case the previously chosen Release2 is not in this new list then the user is invited to choose a new Release2 item.
