On https://www.kernel.org the latest stable release is 5.10.60. How does this patch version of the kernel get into the stable nixos channel? How many days does that typically take? For reference I’m running nixos stable:
And my kernel version is still 5.10.52. I’m asking because these “patch” versions often contain security fixes and I’d like to have more insight into the update process.
When I list my nix-channels I only have the one: nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05
I thought I had but I rebooted again and now uname -r returns 5.10.57. Thank you!
One additional noob question: when I run nix eval nixpkgs/97c5d0cbe76\#linuxPackages.kernel.version My shell treats it as a path and complains it cannot find the file. What am I missing to query this information myself?
