Hi Patrick, [...]
I read that, but in fact I really wouldn't be amused, if I would have to download and compile the Nvidia packages myself. I hope, that there will be any repo to automatically do that job on an upgrade.
It is not a "big thing". it only amounts to running an script and
I did it for years, but it was/is not fun at all - especially because I always had to start it 10 to 20 times, because I often got defunct children of make (sh, mkdir, ...), so that the compile just stopped and had to be restarted. Every so often you got a package, that couldn't be compiled at all. You had to wait for an appropriate patch. And sometimes - as it is the case with 42.3 now - the modules finally compiled, but didn't load.
answering a few questions or passing a couple of parameters and remembering to run the script when the kernel or mesa packages are updated.
This describes how it should be, but it isn't.
so you *can* be amused.
Not really. So it would really be great to have an official repository that provides the appropriate drivers. If not, I can live with it, but I wouldn't be amused.
