* New query option: `--compare-versions' or `-c' to compare installed
versions to available versions, or vice versa. For example, the following compares installed versions to available versions: $ nix-env -qc autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.4 < 1.9.6 f-spot-0.0.10 - ? firefox-1.0.4 < 1.0.7 ... I.e., there are newer versions available (in the current default Nix expression) for Automake and Firefox, but not for Autoconf, and F-Spot is missing altogether. Conversely, the available versions can be compared to the installed versions: $ nix-env -qac autoconf-2.59 = 2.59 automake-1.9.6 > 1.9.4 bash-3.0 - ? firefox-1.0.7 > 1.0.4 ... Note that bash is available but no version of it is installed. If multiple versions are available for comparison, then the highest is used. E.g., if Subversion 1.2.0 is installed, and Subversion 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 are available, then `nix-env -qc' will print `< 1.2.3', not `> 1.1.4'. If higher versions are available, the version column is printed in red (using ANSI escape codes).
