Nvidia 195.36.15

I know, that there where problems with a previous 195-starting version (I think 195.36.08), but after that, nvidia removed that from their website, and for a while, again the 190.53 was the stable version (as here), but now, another nvidia driver released, which is told to be the okay driver (195.36.15), and it seems, that for kde users, this is a solution for a slowness in 190.53:

What is the current state of nvidia drivers, as the newest is not even in testing.
And yes, this was the older buggy one (195.36.08) nvidia removed it from their site, since that there are a whole new okay driver: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92203

195.36.15 should have entered testing when it was available, lazy maintainer i guess

They are not obliged to update it so fast, you should know

They will update it as soon as they can.

Or a busy maintainer? Or perhaps (s)he's not feeling too well at the moment? Or his/her sister is getting married today?
Some people have lives you know

this makes me want to cry. I hope you were being sarcastic. also there's this thing called ABS which lets you build package in few seconds.

I just wanted to _warn_ the developers/maintainers, that this is _not_ the bad nvidia driver, that arch and gentoo got first, before it got stable. The version numbers are so similar, you know

update: kubuntu still uses the bad driver in its beta (ubuntu not): http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=kubuntu

I sure am appreciating your substantial contributions to the ecosystem that Arch Linux is.

Thanks, I see now all is OK. I wrote only coz I know arch is in the first distros who updates these drivers I was sure something's not okay and I remembered the whole story and the thread which drove to the downgraded driver

sorry for being a bit provocative, it seem to have worked as a reminder though
i really think the nvidia driver is important in desktop linux, although i use the nvidia-beta from aur.
btw, i actually have a package in aur: naev

There is a 'flag out of date' button that works as a 'reminder'.
