Abstract: KERN is a released set of radio astronomical software packages available for long term supported Ubuntu operating systems. It contains most of the standard tools that a radio astronomer needs to work with radio telescope data. The goal of KERN is to save time and prevent frustration in setting up scientific pipelines and to assist in achieving scientific reproducibility. Our packaging procedure makes extensive use of git, and the packages are published to Launchpad. The current release of KERN is KERN-6, and it's based on Ubuntu 18.04. The forthcoming KERN-7 release will be based on Ubuntu 20.04. This report is a status update on the latest release of KERN.
