nvidia-lts in extra?

It's a minor thing... but... It would be reeeeeaaaallllly cool if nvidia-lts was maintained in extra. Maybe the combination of kernel-lts and nvidia is not common but I do find for my needs that the lts kernel is easier to use because vmware is pretty slow at supporting newer kernels and for me vmware is a must. I've come to the conclusion that LTS is the path of least resistance for that type of install.

I would be willing to help with it if necessary. I'm not sure who is maintaining the package in AUR but so far the package has always been updated very quickly after a release of nvidia-utils... Thanks for that whoever you are ;-)

Cheers,
Neil

I'm maintaining the nvidia-lts PKGBUILD in AUR. I could add it in extra as there are other lts modules in extra. I'll ask first on dev ML to see if it's OK with everyone.

Thanks again for all your efforts snowman (and all the maintainers for that matter). I see the drivers made it to extra! Life is good!
