From their website;

“The Ksplice software available for download
from http://www.ksplice.com
is open source software. This software is made available to you
under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2″

And it appears there is a source tarball and source repo’s available.

But think i’ll stick with the traditional methods for now. Its not very often I need to upgrade the kernel, and when I do the reboot is when its convenient for me, not because there’s an update. So the reboot doesn’t really disrupt anything.

If this is possible why isn’t it already enabled by default?

What the hell is key for?!
Is it even open source?
Can I setup my own local repo with ksplice updates?
Why do we have to install one more system update app - isn’t synaptic enough? Why Canonical unable to run such service as part of their normal repo?

I run Ubuntu Jaunty (not fresh install, upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10) and I receive and error:
“You are running a kernel from Ubuntu Intrepid. Ksplice Uptrack for Ubuntu only supports kernels from Ubuntu Jaunty”
