Merged in libnvidia-allocator.so and libnvidia-vulkan-producer.so from nvidia-utils=475.44-3.

I think you could adopt these two changes from the main nvidia-utils package:

This PKGBUILD is adapted from the pre-existing nvidia-utils=470.74. nvidia-dkms does not provide nvidia, instead it provides NVIDIA-MODULE.

If you feel this is wrong then please file a bug against nvidia-utils and I will adopt the same changes here.

You cannot have 2 packages that provide the same kernel module for the same kernel version. The nvidia official package provide a module for the linux kernel (Arch Linux version). Installing nvidia-470xx-dkms also provide the same module (but older version) for the same linux kernel version (since dkms). How the kernel is going to choose which version to pick?

Also without the conflict, it makes the transition from nvidia package to nvidia-470xx-dkms a bit complicated... I have to uninstall nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings before installing nvidia-470xx-dkms ..., since nvidia-utils require a specific nvidia module version

Are you sure that those packages actually conflict and can't be co-installed?

This package should also mark nvidia and nvidia-dkms as conflict to allow a user to replace the official nvidia driver.

This package should also provide nvidia-utils.

Version: 470.82.00 Release Date: 2021.10.26

Added support for the EGL_NV_robustness_video_memory_purge

Firefox EGL on the NVIDIA proprietary driver will become the default once the NVIDIA 495 driver series is more widely adopted. It's only with the NVIDIA 495 driver series that recently hit beta where the EGL_NV_robustness_video_memory_purge extension is present that is needed by Firefox.
