shield Recommended update for kernel-livepatch-tools
SUSE-SLE-Module-Live-Patching-15-SP7-2025-2571

This update for kernel-livepatch-tools fixes the following issues: Version 1.8: - Drop different flavors support (bsc#1245949) - Hardcode version 1.2 when building for older distributions than SL 16.0. The existing livepatch packages require exactly this version. But new versions are backward compatible. - Use "transactional-update" for downgrading livepatch package on transactional systems (bsc#1245346) - Improve the description of the LIVEPATCH_KERNEL sysconfig variable (bsc#1236642) - Use dracut to regenerate initrd when "mkinitrd" can't be found (bsc#1234757) - Remove week dependencies on SLE16+ to unify the behavior on SLES, SLES Minimal, and SL Micro (bsc#1219966) - cache-cleaner: Correctly handle situation when there is no livepatch loaded (bsc#1231422) - klp-info-cache.service: Expand %%{_libexecdir} when setting ExecStart. The cache-cleaner script has been moved in SL Micro 6.0 (bsc#1231397) - klp.sh: Fix downgrade with skipped package version (bsc#1223966) - klp.sh: Exit with an error code when downgrade fails (bsc#1223930) - kernel-livepatch-tools-devel produces livepatch packages compatible with kernel-livepatch-tool >= 1.2 - Fix installation paths for SL Micro 6.0 (jsc#PED-8219): * %%{_libexecdir} newly pointing to /usr/libexec; update macros calling kernel-livepatch/rpm-helper accordingly * dracut files stay in /usr/lib/dracut * rpm files stay in /usr/lib/rpm + kernel modules are installed under /usr/lib - Keep backward compatibility with SLE15: + install the rpm macros in %%{_sysconfdir} when built for SLE15 code base - Mark the package noarch. It is not architecture specific after the klp-convert removal. But rather be conservative and do it only for new products. - Remove klp-convert from kernel-livepatch-tools-devel (bsc#1218644) - Move RPM macros away from /etc as hinted by RPMLINT - klp.sh, rpm-helper: Cache live patch metadata (bsc#1191344)
