anti-apXos
Yes, antix kernels come as an entirely new package for each version, which is why the version number is in the package name itself, e.g. linux-image-6.6.137-antix.1-amd64-smp.
You’ll notice that for most other packages, the version number is separate from the package name, so once you have say “firefox-esr” or “icewm-common” installed, updates can come to those package by just replacing the version of it in the repository.
I guess the same could be done for the kernel, though I think what’s more common is to use a metapackage that has a generic name, which is just a dummy package with a dependency on whatever the most recent actual kernel package is. This way multiple kernel versions can still be kept available in the repository, which is desirable, but users can also optionally install the metapackage if they want automatic kernel updates.
As pointed out in the other thread, if antix users want that kind of automatic kernel updating, they can install the Debian kernel metapackages, linux-image-amd64 and linux-headers-amd64.
