Free Ksplice for Ubuntu/Fedora

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you're all aware, but we make Ksplice updates freely available for Ubuntu[1] and Fedora[2]. Ksplice patches are provided for the LTS versions of Ubuntu and the latest two stable releases of Fedora (19 and 20 at the moment). If you've wanted to play with Ksplice technology and are not an Oracle Linux Premier Support customer, you can do it for free with either of these two products. If you want to see Ksplice in action on a RHEL box, you can get a 30-day trial[3]. If you're unaware of what Ksplice is, it's rebootless kernel patching of security and bug fixes. Ksplice is in the same space as Kpatch and kGraft, but is a far more mature technology and is able to currently patch far more of the kernel in runtime than its competitors. For more information, see https://www.ksplice.com/paper Cheers, Avi [1] https://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/download-ubuntu [2] https://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/download-fedora [3] https://www.ksplice.com/rhel-signup

Why is this not getting pushed back up into the mainline kernel? -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC

The tech that creates Ksplice patches is not free. The patches themselves are pure kernel code and are covered under the GPL. This was just a note for people who might be interested in checking it out. Sent from my iPhone
