RHEL for each package has both a source-git and dist-git. The dist-git is used to build the package and for the src-git it can be a link to a tag to the upstream + some patches in the dist-git. Check the spec file. These look like copies of dist-gits. The kernel is unique because RHEL forks the kernel and backports things while keeping a stable interface for testing and people to build upon (you won't see the removal of some drivers 6 years into the RHEL life cycle because upstream removed them). Strange, I do not see a kernel or linux package.

Eg. the following defines which commit of zen-kernel should be used as source. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/zen-kernels.nix https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specifi...

  Why are you posting a nix file? We are talking about a RHEL clone. Specifically the lack of dist-git pkg for the most heavily changed package that differentiates RHEL from an upstream distro. The forked Linux kernel source code. This file does not point to that EL fork. Just the upstream with the zen patches... I guess? Not looking at it too much past that 6.6 value in the first few lines.
