'''RedSleeve Linux''' is a 3rd party [[wikipedia:ARM_architecture|ARM]] port of a Linux distribution of a Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor (PNAELV). They object to being referred to by name in the context of clones and ports of their distribution, but if you are aware of [[wikipedia:CentOS|CentOS]] and [[wikipedia:Scientific_Linux|Scientific Linux]], you can probably guess what RedSleeve is based on. |

||
| − | Initially there were a total of 111 packages that had to be modified from their upstream versions to make them build on ARM and work as intended. With the upstream istro updates since then this, has reduced down to 91. Of those 39 only required only adjustment to the ExclusiveArch option in the SPEC file. Another 5 only required changes to to rebranding requirements on 3rd party rebuilds. The other 47 |
||
| − | required additional patching to build and function correctly on ARM. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Some packages will not be updated further beyond their current versions unless a maintaier steps forward to addopt them.''' Be aware of any potential security implications of this on your deployment. These include the kernel and glibc. This is due to extensive patching in the upstream distribution which was only performed with any attention being paid to whether it builds and works on x86. In some cases (e.g. the kernel) patches in RedSleeve include fixes for what were quite clearly mispatches in the upstream package that only by luck weren't in the specific x86 build code path. |
