The kernel module is being built during installation (as it's done with the Leap packages). But the kernel module is also being rebuilt and reinstalled after a kernel update has been done, since we don't necessarily keep the kABI stable for TW. This has been implemented by making use of RPM's trigger scripts.
does this mean, i can install latest kernel from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard or from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard and then the nvidia driver's kernel modul is automatically rebuilt after the kernel is updated?
Yes, that's the feature of the NVIDIA packages for Tumbleweed. ;-) Actually this feature was the requirement for TW ...
i ask, because currently i frequently update kernel from above repos and then reinstall nvidia driver manually with the .run package from nvidia.
This should no longer be required with these packages. CU, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
