What this means is that your Linux distro will not have the latest branch of Kernel sources (5.1 as of May 2019). Quite possibly, lots of kernel modules specific to a distro are re-compiled at that stage. This is done so that most of key software running in a particular distro will still function. Most Linux distros lag quite a big behing the latest Linux kernel version: this is expected, because their maintainers need time to download and complile the latest kernel and to also complete the full suite of integratory tests. Why Kernel Source is Old Version in Your OS I just realised that the same packages will most obviously be needed if you ever decide to compile your Linux kernel. Kernel-headers x86_64 3.10.0-957.12.2.el7 updates 8.0 Mĭelta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed. You need to install two packages: kernel sources from kernel-develop and header files from kernel-headers: :~ # yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers Install Kernel Sources and Headers in RedHat/CentOS
Most often it’s some kind of kernel module specific to a software that requires deep integration with your operating system. From time to time it’s required to compile some Linux kernel specific software on your CentOS/RedHat Linux system.
