Nvidia-beta-rt, should I upload this PKGBUILD?

ngoonee · 2009-04-10 08:43:20

Hi all,

I've never contributed to AUR before, only used it. Recently I installed the RT kernel and realized the only available nvidia drivers are 17x series, nothing from the *stable* and *beta* series (as defined by nvidia).

Anyway, I went to read up a bit on ABS and makepkg, since I needed to change the RT kernel PKGBUILD to get nvidia-beta to install properly. I'm still not satisfied with that, but I DO have a modified nvidia-beta PKGBUILD for installing nvidia-beta on the rt-kernel, leaving your nvidia install for your generic kernel intact and working.

The question is, should I submit this? Its not really much of a change from the current nvidia-beta-xxx scripts. I don't really mind keeping it up-to-date, as I see updates coming in on the primary nvidia-beta. Or should I just post the PKGBUILD here instead of putting it on AUR itself?

Advise, please.

which ever you do please make available. I would be interested in seeing what you did.

Well, here's the PKGBUILD I'm using now. Basically all that's needed is to change pkgname to something that's NOT nvidia-beta. Also I changed the depend from kernel26 to kernel26rt. This needs to be run from within your rt kernel, if not you'll have to replace `uname -r` in _kernver with the specific kernel name (2.6.29-rt for me). Also change that in the nvidia.install file below.

Am still waiting for someone to tell me whether this is appropriate to upload to AUR or not.
