Can someone please help me understand why after the upgrade yesterday, Pacman now lists nvidia 290.10-1 as an orphan. After the upgrade, I have no issues... everything runs smoothly.
Also, after the upgrade, I now have a .nv folder in my home directory where the previous version didn't have one.
Thank you.

Are you sure nvidia is a true orphan package? You should check using the command
pacman -Qtdwhich will list all unrequired packages that are dependencies. Of course, without the -d option, nvidia would be listed - because it was not installed as a dependency.
As for the ".nv" directory: it's created by the OpenGL shader disk cache feature introduced with nvidia-290.x - see this phoronix article for details.
(PS: the opencl-nvidia package may now be listed as an orphan, because it has become an optional dependency of the nvidia-utils package).

Yes, I'm positive. After the update, I issued a pacman -Qdt command and it listed "nvidia 290.10-1; however, after a reboot, it now shows opencl-nvida and libcl.
Thank you for your response and the link!
