All,

   I'm sorry, but I've had to disable access to the nvidia packages patched
for the 6.12 kernel in my buildservice account because it was suggested on the
factory list that hosting nvidia binary packages isn't allowed. So I've taken
down the repo at

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty:/branches:/home:/wkazubski:/G03/

   There is an open question the extent to which this rule applies and whether
it applies only to publishing or to building. I'll have to read the links
provided to be able to make a determination.

   In the interim, if you need the packages you can e-mail me off-list with
your IP and I'll see if I can make a repository outside of suse/opensuse
available similar to what is done with Packman.

   This was the first I've ever heard of that rule, especially since Nvidia
makes the binary available to distros for the purpose of building packages -
so the legal reasoning here is a bit unclear. For the present, we don't want
to run afoul of any rules, so the opensuse buildservice is no longer published :(
