I was reading an article today in ComputerWorld about something
called
KSplice, which allows Linux users to install critical updates and
patch in without rebooting the computer. I tried it and while it was a
bit odd for installing (not auto-disabling the Ubuntu update system),
it worked very well. I think something like this would be great for
Fedora as well, possibly something for Fedora 12.
Would it be possible to implement this or something similar for
Fedora?
The ksplice tools have been included in Fedora since around f8. This
gives you the bits you need to create and apply ksplice updates to a
running system.
The difference with what Ksplice inc. are now offering for Ubuntu is
that they also provide a stream of pre-prepared updates for the released
Ubuntu kernels (the "Uptrack" service).
