Loaded plugins: ovl, priorities
Available Packages
Name : yum-plugin-kernel-livepatch
Arch : noarch
Version : 1.0
Release : 0.11.amzn2
Size : 13 k
Repo : amzn2-core/2/x86_64
Summary : Yum Plugin to help install/erase the kernel-livepatches for new
: kernels when enabled
URL : http://aws.amazon.com
License : GPLv2+
Description : yum-plugin-kernel-livepatch checks if a new kernel is being
: installed or erased as a result of an update or any other yum
: command. It then inserts the kernel-livepatch RPM as a dependency
: to the transaction. The assumption is that if kernel-livepatch is
: installed and enabled for one kernel, we could continue requiring
: it for future kernels unless disabled. We also provide a CLI for
: yum called kernel-livepatch, this provides a simple wrapper around
: enabling livepatching.
