[Alice Ferrazzi]

What I did in this week 11 summary:

elivepatch work:
* we need a way for having old genpatches.
   mpagano made a script for saving all the genpatches and they are saved here:
   http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/tarballs/
   I think we can redirect the ebuild on our overlay, for get the
   tarballs from there.
* code refactoring
* added PORTAGE\_CONFIGROOT for set the path from where to get the incremental
patches.
* Got problem with downloading kernel sources to /usr/portage/distfiles/
    permission denied to write to /usr/portage/distfiles/
    /usr/portage/distfiles/ is not writable
* saving created livepatch and patch to the client, but sending only
the incremental patches and patch to the elivepatch server
* Cleaned output from bash command
* testing elivepatch with incremental patches
* code refactoring
* testing elivepatch with incremental patches
* merged build\_livepatch with send\_files as it can reduce the steps
for making the livepatch and help making it more isolated.
* going on writing the incremental patch

Next week:
starting working on the security automated patches system

elivepatch work:

* removing not needed code
* working at designing the security live patch system incremental feature
* remove duplicated CVE id from the CVE patch list
* refactoring code
* starting writing the first draft for the automatical kernel live
patching system

* we need a way for having old genpatches.
   mpagano made a script for saving all the genpatches and they are saved here:
   http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/tarballs/
   I think we can redirect the ebuild on our overlay, for get the
tarballs from there.

Next week plans finish writing the security live patching system with
incremental feature
do review and submit the work.
