[CentOS] kpatch (live kernel patching) in CentOS 7.7?
Forgive me if this has been answered before and I've missed it. This https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2206511 says live kernel patches will be available via yum updates as of RHEL 7.7. Is this carried over to CentOS 7.7.1908? -- *Matt Phelps* *Information Technology Specialist, Systems Administrator* (Computation Facility, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian 60 Garden Street | MS 39 | Cambridge, MA 02138 email: mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu cfa.harvard.edu | Facebook <http://cfa.harvard.edu/facebook> | Twitter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/twitter> | YouTube <http://cfa.harvard.edu/youtube> | Newsletter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/newsletter>

This would be a huge help to those of us running servers. Not to mention it would make the world a more secure place :) Is it an upstream issue? No SRPMS available? Etc? Just trying to understand. I don't follow the centos-devel list. Has this been discussed there, or elsewhere? -- *Matt Phelps* *Information Technology Specialist, Systems Administrator* (Computation Facility, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian 60 Garden Street | MS 39 | Cambridge, MA 02138 email: mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu cfa.harvard.edu | Facebook <http://cfa.harvard.edu/facebook> | Twitter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/twitter> | YouTube <http://cfa.harvard.edu/youtube> | Newsletter <http://cfa.harvard.edu/newsletter>
