Grab it Explore the challenges and strategies of maintaining Linux Kernel 4.4 beyond its Long Term Support (LTS) period in this informative conference talk. Discover how the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) project, under the Linux Foundation, is committed to providing Super Long Term Support (SLTS) for industrial and civil infrastructure projects. Learn about the transition from LTS to SLTS maintenance, the importance of extended kernel support, and the methods employed to keep Kernel 4.4 viable for a minimum of ten years. Gain insights into the technical hurdles, maintenance processes, and the significance of this endeavor for critical infrastructure systems. Understand the implications of continuing support for both regular and real-time kernel versions, and how this pioneering effort by CIP sets a precedent for future SLTS kernels.
