Definition

Core LivePatch (abbreviated to CLP) allows you to update critical Vincent OS part via patches without rebooting your computer.

Features

Core LivePatch can do the following tasks:

  • Applying critical patches: Update key system files, such as configuration files in /etc, to address urgent issues.

  • Revert a previous version of a specific package: Roll back a specific package version to resolve critical issues (e.g. Revert a previous version for the following issue: NVIDIA: Black screen after an update).

All patches are distributed in a .clp format, designed specifically for Vincent OS.

If necessary, you can rollback a Core LivePatch update if some file / package break your system.
