It's that time again... The King Penguin has just release the 6.6 kernel. Time to start keeping eyes open for patches. (we could always hope it will just work as is -- but experience has shown we will need to scramble to patch when Arch provides the 6.6 update...) Any favorite places to watch?
(update: linux-6.6 just hit the Arch core-testing repo)

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.

The DKMS package guidelines are explicit that
linux-headers
should not be a dependency of any DKMS package.As a concrete example of why including that as a hard dependency is a bad idea, what happens when
linux
is not an installed kernel?jonathon commented on 2020-10-19 12:41 (UTC) (edited on 2021-05-11 14:18 (UTC) by jonathon)
PACKAGE NEEDS LONG TERM MAINTAINER
I have adopted the 390xx packages to keep them secure. I do not run any 390xx hardware so will not notice any breakages and cannot test any changes.
Until such time as someone else steps up to maintain these packages - ideally someone who actually has 390xx hardware - I have to rely on you to tell me what changes are needed.
Don't expect a response if you post only "this doesn't work", and do not email me to complain about the package not working!

A binary package is also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.
