armbian-config only shows kernels up to 5.15, I'm running on 5.17 and can't see 5.19

[foxx1337]

I don't understand why I can't update to 5.19. I just updated to various user-space Debian 11.5 packages, but I can't see any newer kernels.

I'm looking at https://mirrors.xtom.de/armbian/pool/main/l/ for example and I can see items such as https://mirrors.xtom.de/armbian/pool/main/l/linux-5.19.5-meson64/. How do I get my apt to see them?

[Werner]

Are they visible if you do an apt-cache search for those?

[foxx1337]

No, they're not. On the other hand, I now think the mirror also doesn't have them, looking for linux-image-edge-meson64 in `Packages` at https://mirrors.xtom.de/armbian/dists/bullseye/main/binary-arm64/Packages shows me that the one I got installed is in fact the latest one.

 

LE. do i need to switch my sources.list to "jammy"?

 

LLE. I don't need "jammy". I see that a different mirror from our github (https://github.com/armbian/mirror) has newer kernels - https://mirror.albony.xyz/armbian/dists/bullseye/main/binary-arm64/Packages. That `Packages` contains 5.19 kernels for example. Today I learned to read the `Packages` files for clues . By the way, your mirror seems to have it all and updating with it worked just fine, thank you!

Since we do not have control over most of the mirrors shown some may or may not be up-to-date since sync interval is unknown. Mine (fi.mirror.armbian.de) syncs once a night (in Europe ).

We haven't figured out a proper way to check if mirrors are up-to-date and remove them from rotation on-demand. This is still WIP.

That would be a very bad idea. Debian and Ubuntu userspaces - while both using apt and debs - are incompatible.
