  Description     : Tools for Debian Linux Kernel Livepatching



dlp-tools is a set of tools that facilitate the development of Linux Kernel=
 Livepatches

in Debian. This project is being developed as part of Google Summer of Code=
 2026 under
the Linux Livepatching<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2026/pr=
ojects/hwdmjPwn> Project. This is more of an Intent to Design and Implement=
.

dlp-tools is still an experimental software right now and needs more work b=
efore it can be used
by the end-users or developers. dlp-tools will be tested extensively in exp=
erimental first before moving
it to unstable/testing.

The design and development of dlp-tools and the introduction of kernel live=
patching in Debian is
being discussed as part of weekly meetings.
