[opensuse-factory] Nvidia, Tumbleweed and UDBA (Universal Driver Build Assistant)
Dear all, What is UDBA: UDBA is my project which should help all users that are using Tumbleweed as updates source and are missing binary driver packages for some of non free packages as for instance nvidia-gfx. As all non free driver packages are prepared on OBS repositories it is easy for advanced users to build binary packages from them using osc util locally. But regular users are left behind and waiting for regular release cycles of openSUSE which really is unacceptable from user using Tumbleweed repo. So there is where my project (from this moment simply called UDBA) comes in. It is front end for standard rpmbuild process that users are probably not willing to use (or I'm probably wrong :) ). UDBA is build on YaST framework and as such have frontends for Qt, GTK and curses by default. Probably webyast would work too but i didn't had time nor need for this to test. Where to download it from: To test it please download it from my home repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bmanojlovic:/UDBA/openSUSE_T... Needed packages: yast2-udba udba-nvidia-gfxG02 (for nvidia and tested to be working) How to use it: open YaST -> Miscellaneous -> UDBA and look at screen shots bellow. It will ask you to install required packages needed for building rpms What is result of it: Curses UI can be seen on screen shots at: http://bojanka.net/udba/ and generated files from my machine are: /srv/repos/nvidia-gfxG02/x86_64/x11-video-nvidiaG02-260.19.29-1.x86_64.rpm /srv/repos/nvidia-gfxG02/x86_64/nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-260.19.29_k2.6.37-1.x86_64.rpm /srv/repos/nvidia-gfxG02/x86_64/nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-260.19.29_k2.6.37-1.x86_64.rpm Where to find source: This project is VERY much work in progress. Source code can be found on github at: https://github.com/bmanojlovic/yast2-udba Bugs: Too many to count or show them here... Not working for any packages currently except video drivers as it is hardcoded in /usr/lib/udba/bin/udba-builder script... Unfortunately current ati-fglrxG02 is not building with 2.6.37 kernel so I'm sorry ati users. (It does build /srv/repos/ati-fglrxG02/x86_64/x11-video-fglrxG02-8.801-1.x86_64.rpm user space package tho) Boris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

In any case, I found that really useful (as it's not tomorrow, we can live without prop blob)

That a start ...

They will certainly push a new driver release during january, or beginning of february

So I will start to use that and the yast2 udba to check what a user can do with that . And so you will have to patch :-) -- Bruno Friedmann (irc:tigerfoot) Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member User www.ioda.net/r/osu Blog www.ioda.net/r/blog fsfe fellowship www.fsfe.org GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 vcard : http://it.ioda-net.ch/ioda-net.vcf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
