Thanks Xu Zhao and Carlos E. R. for clarifying things.
Maybe someone could publish a file with the list of current kernel versions known to work with what driver versions, and a script would lock the kernel till the file publishes the go ahead. You people would have to run that script before attempting the upgrades.
This script could be a hook inside a package, so that it would run automatically, can't it? According to Xu Zhao, it could even be bundled together in nvidia official repository, once they get it from OBS.
The problem is that we need to maintain a compatibility matrix for nvidia and the latest kernel.
Regardless of the source for that compatibility matrix, if this needs to be manual work done by a maintainer, I think it would still be better to most nvidia users to have a kernel update delayed for a week or two and in exchange be able to safely update without manually checking individual package versions. Since the kernel version is already appended to nvidia's version, shouldn't this be realiable enough? Once it had a current version, shouldn't it build safely? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
