    Time Event
    1:28p
    Security updates for Friday
    Security updates have been issued by Debian (libssh2 and patch), Fedora (kernel and kernel-headers), Mageia (vlc), Red Hat (rh-redis32-redis), SUSE (libgcrypt, libsolv, libzypp, zypper, and rmt-server), and Ubuntu (exim4, firefox, libebml, linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, and vlc).
    2:10p
    Stable kernels 5.2.3, 5.1.20, and 4.19.61
    Three new stable kernels have been released: 5.2.3, 5.1.20,
    and 4.19.61. These are rather larger
    updates than most and, as usual, contain fixes throughout the kernel tree;
    users should upgrade.
    8:27p
    [$] Completing the pidfd API
    Over the last few kernel releases, the kernel has gained the concept of a
    "pidfd" — a file descriptor that represents a process. What started as a
    way of sending signals to processes without race conditions has evolved
    into a more complete process-management interface. Now one of the last
    pieces is being put into place: the ability to wait for processes using
    pidfds. But, naturally, that API has had to go through some revisions
    first.
