Maybe somebody will realize at some point that dkms is a better option with a distro that changes kernels every week.
The rc phase of the kernel is on the order of 7 *weeks*. There is *that much* time between the API break, and the source release of these new APIs to the wider public -- and then probably *another* week until that all has passed the openSUSE machinery involving OpenQA and so on.
From when I built fglrx, nvidia (during the 96.x to 346.x-ish era), vmware and vbox modules, updating the source to new APIs was not hard. Certainly did not take seven weeks.
Maybe somebody will realize that nvidia has a terrible kernel development following procedure. Or, for the marketeers, "uncompetetive". Maybe if R&D spent less time on trying to cheat the benchmarks.. but I digress. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
