[pkg-nvidia-devel] looking at Ubuntu nvidia package?

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

Meaning no offense, but the nvidia packages became pretty complex over
time wrt package dependencies, installation procedure of the kernel
module, mutually exclusive vdpau packages, etc.

Ubuntu went for another approach: There are basically 3 packages:

	nvidia-current
	nvidia-current-dev
	nvidia-current-modalias

The kernel module is managed using dkms. The libraries to use are
selected via ldconfig.

I really like this idea.


Regards

Harri
