libglib2.0_0-2.24.1-1mdv2010.1.i586.rpm<br/>
</packages><br/>
</div>
<p>And then pass XML-descriptors of old and new versions of a group to the tool:</p>
<code style="border: dashed 1px gray; background-color: #f0f0f0;"> pkgdiff OLD.xml NEW.xml </code>
<p>The HTML report will be generated to:</p>
<code style="border: dashed 1px gray; background-color: #f0f0f0;"> pkgdiff_reports/<group>/<v1>_to_<v2>/changes_report.html </code>
