Hi there, Just to note that Emmanuel and myself may be interested in helping to maintain kpatch. It may be useful for the linux-livepatching ITP (https://bugs.debian.org/1070494). Dimitri, are you still interested in maintaining kpatch? If you don't object, we will try to package the latest version, look at the existing bugs when it was removed, and try to reintroduce it. Any objection to that? Cheers, -- Santiago
