That said, now that I understand the reason we can’t get an ETA is because the information is somewhat confidential (? which is odd in an open-source community but it is what it is), and I respect that you have to keep it top-secret, I’m fine with that. At least whoever else tries to find the same information as I did about what is going on in the background now has something to hold on to.
openSUSE is open-source, but nvidia is not, it is proprietary. They create the .run "driver", and with that someone in the community generates the .rpm packages. But these are not published by openSUSE or SUSE: instead they are transferred to nvidia people which then publish it on their own server (with a caveat in the readme about who is responsible for what). That is more or less the procedure, which is also not publicized. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
