[CentOS] CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 178, Issue 2

I have a question to this update:
Is the Kernel full open source?
So i can review the kernel updates ??
I want to know the exact changes- like a merged "change paper", to
show the differences clearly.

Is this possible for Kernel updates?

Yes, the kernel is open source, the primary location is here:

https://www.kernel.org/

I do not know about changes you are after, but there are proprietary chunks of
software that run in kernel context: ?firmware? - binaries you have to install
to use some of hardware, e.g. Intel WiFi chips. Am I right  about drivers
running in kernel context?
> So i can review the kernel updates ??
That is impressive task. If I were to do it, I would start by installing kernel
source: two successive versions of kernel srpm's (foung in source rpm
repository), and take a look which patches were added to new one, then inspect
just these patches.

[CentOS] CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 178, Issue 2

...i take care about toolkits.
i remember any backdoors on non verified toolkits.
I also remember tough un-secureness in serious toolkits...but whatever...thats
not the point... i just want to know anything about review surgery.

How are this packages verified? is there a identity check?

I just want to know anything about information politics in this community :)...
because its normally from red hat.

1.) Is the Kernel full open source?

Yes.

2.) So i can review the kernel update ??

Yes.  The changes CentOS makes to the kernel are described in the
CentOS git repo for the kernel package:
https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel

Basically, CentOS only patches the kernel to remove some Red Hat
branding and to update the kernel signing information.

If you want to see the individual patches that Red Hat puts into the
RHEL7 and 8 kernel, you'll need to contact Red Hat, they release the
kernel source fully patched with their changes.

All the source is provided.
