Update 6.6 kernel & firmware #47

Closed elohmeier closed 4 weeks ago

elohmeier commented 4 weeks ago

Updated the kernel source to the rpi-6.6.y branch (6.6.45 as of now) since upstream is not tagging releases. This is also what the Arch Linux ARM project is doing, see https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/linux-rpi.

Also the firmware packages have been updated.

Thanks for the contribution @elohmeier, however, I have always tracked the latest stable release of these packages rather than master, as I want as stable of a nixos raspberry pi experience as possible.

elohmeier commented 4 weeks ago

Ok, no problem. Thanks for your quick response!

@tstat would you be open to adding the 6.6.y as another version? I think it would still be useful, since e.g. security patches are backported to that 6.6 LTS kernel. So then we could have the tagged/stable 6.6.31 (like Raspberry Pi OS) and 6.6.y (latest LTS kernel) / 6.10.y (current kernel) versions for the more adventurous. I think it would also be useful to automate the update process for these latter packages then.

Yes! That would be accepted and appreciated.

The code is arranged to accommodate multiple versions of the kernel under the rpi-kernels key.
