I suspect it's unlikely packman would want to host these as they're dodgy both legally and morally. Only nvidia should have to take the risk. (Although no-one seems to have sued Debian and canonical yet)
Hmm. Sure that Debian/Ubuntu provides prebuilt NVIDIA packages?
I'm pretty sure packages exist for Ubuntu, although they might be 3rd party. I'm absolutely sure FC have them via the 3rd party ilvna repo: http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/
Both of these are third party packages, Ubuntu was forced to stop shipping their pre-built packages a while ago for the obvious legal reasons. If anyone wants to take the legal risk on their own, sure, feel free to take it on. But good luck, some of us kernel developers take this kind of infringement quite seriously... thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
