Last week, the Linux Foundation announced that the Civil Infrastructure Platform project (or CIP) extended its super-long-term stable kernel program to 10 years with the 6.1 series.
"Just like the 4.4-cip, 4.19-cip, and 5.10-cip core series, the project has committed to maintaining the 6.1-cip core for at least 10 years after its initial release."
While normal in the long run stable cores will be updated for two years, CIP cores will be updated for 10 years.
"CIP cores will be developed and tested with the same meticulous care as regular long-term stability cores," said Yoshi Kobayashi, Chairman of the Technical Steering Committee on the CIP project.
“Our developers are actively involved in the review and essay of long-term stable cores, contributing to overall quality and better safety of the platform. A key point is our work on the IEC 62443 security standard, aimed at strengthening the resilience of critical infrastructure systems.”
“As 2023 draws to a close, the CIP project has stood as a beacon of stability and innovation,” said Urs Gleim, Chairman of the Board at the CIP project…
The Civil Infrastructure Platform promotes open source collaboration and innovation around biosoftwareengineeringquality for products used in industrial automation and for urban infrastructure such as trains and power grids.
