[CentOS-devel] CentOS 7 Public QA: CentOSPlus kernel available for testing

The first version of the centosplus kernel for 7 is now available for
testing. The kernel version is 3.10.0-123.el7 (GA kernel).  You can
download it from:

http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-plus/kernel-plus/

Or use yum with a .repo file similar to:

[c7-kernel-plus]
name=CentOS Open QA - CentOSPlus
baseurl=http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-plus/kernel-plus
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Up to CentOS 6, the centosplus kernel has been distributed with a
repotag '.centos.plus'. The 7 version has the same tag but the name is
now 'kernel-plus'. Its name space is separate from the distro kernel.
This was done to keep with other kernel names such as 'kernel-xen'
(being planned for 7) and 'kernel-ml' (available for 7), etc.

The C7 plus kernel should work with Secure Boot enabled just like the
distro kernel.

Extra features enabled in the config file include some network
adapters, BusLogic, IPX, Appletalk, and ReiserFS. TOMOYO and AppArmor
are also enabled but SeLinux remains the default.

Please test the following:

- Install/uninstall in UEFI mode (with or without Secure Boot enabled)
or in BIOS mode.
- Install the -devel, -headers, -tools etc packages.
- Load [and use] modules/features that are unique to the plus kernel.
- and so on.

Feedback greatly appreciated. Happy testing!
