So, I installed i3wm using my configuration.nix
file and at the time I used the stable channel of nixos, the version that got installed was i3wm 4.21.1, and I wanted to upgrade to version 4.22, tried swapping channels to nixos-unstable
and nixpkgs-unstable
and rebuilding the system but it didn’t update i3 and stayed on version 4.21.1, how could I go about updating it, I tried reading the i3 entry on the nix documentation but there is nothing about changing versions there
section of cfg.nix that installed i3
windowManager.i3 = {
enable = true;
extraPackages = with pkgs; [
dmenu #application launcher most people use
i3lock #default i3 screen locker
];
};
};

I don’t use any kind of flakes if that is relevant
