Indeed. We are making things stable and trying to make it as seamless as possible. Currently bbswitch had almost no commits so it is somewhat "stable".

Will there be a stable release of bbswitch along with it?

the daemon script is indeed a little strange because is derived from the Debian-like one. As I needed the package working I was too lazy to write it all again. Thanks for the snippets, I'll update it soon enough. btw, release 3.0 is scheduled for tomorrow if there are no blockers. Any feedback is welcome. :)

Your daemon scripts also looks rather strange. Why not adopt a more traditional style as in http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/mpd?h=packages/mpd ?

A few notes about the .install scriptlet: Please use more proper user/group checking. See here for example: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/mpd.install?h=packages/mpd Don't stop the bumblebee service like this was Debian. Install scripts are expected to not start/stop services unless absolutely required. Let users decide when to stop/start it. Why don't you use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#backup and make your own backup function? You can reduce the code duplication by just calling pre_upgrade in pre_remove() {}, for instance.

FPtje, I had the same problem as you with nvidia. It seems you don't have the kernel module. I had to install dkms-nvidia opencl-nvidia to make it work. But this is for nvidia not for nouveau.

Currently I'm focused on my vacation this week. You can help on that one taking the "official" Wiki on the GH website. Soon we will release a massive communication rally about the whole project status and improvements together with a history of the project hopefully to clarify the mess of misinformation out there.

Samsagax do you plan on updating the wiki? Would be cool if you did. :)

After installing the latest bumblebee-git I faced the following problem: Bumblebee fails to start. When I try to start it manually through sudo /bin/bumblebeed it gives this error: [ERROR]Module ''nouveau'' is not found. However, my X works fine. My laptop runs on nouveau, and depmod --show | grep nouveau shows that the nouveau modules are installed. How can I solve this?
