So it seems that nvidia are quite happy to host them so presumably either:
- Novell only want their enterprise customers to be able to use them.
Well, it's correct that SLE has a higher priority for Novell than openSUSE. BTW, absolutely the same applies to NVIDIA/ATI.
- Novell have not bothered to ask nvidia to host additional packages.
Novell did. It seems NVIDIA changed its mind meanwhile.
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? Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
