So. Guys. In June 2013, this one guy "Det" once took maintainership over this package. Within those 5 years both Nvidia and Arch have both come a long way, forming a lot of fun obstacles for me to tackle nights over. And Nvidia, it has been just one group of packages out of maaany many in times to come I've pressed "adopt" on over the years. Boy, I'm even a maintainer in the outstanding Wiki. But times change things, as does 5 years.

Fact is, I don't use Arch anymore, I maintain mostly what's left for fun and for "work" I guess. For taking over that responsibility and making that pledge to deliver to the very best of my timed capabilities.

But this is the day I forfeit that responsibility. When I move on and this thing stays behind. But worry not. Another talent will lead on.

For the fine times with this package.

For the fantastic memories with this distribution.

Thank you, and..

May Arch live forever.

I made a patch that builds successfully for those interested to go ahead with it. Reverted to nvidia until @Det merges it, if it's okay.

@bOlaE +1. Same error message while reinstalling nvidia-beta

bOlaE commented on 2018-08-17 04:56 (UTC)

cat: '/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-*-ARCH/version': no such as file or directory I get this error during compilation of the nvidia-beta

mozo commented on 2018-07-17 14:15 (UTC)

Yes I saw it. Excuse me.

Det commented on 2018-07-17 13:56 (UTC)

What 'actual' version? I just told you why I don't update to Vulkans. I even pinned it.

mozo commented on 2018-07-17 13:41 (UTC) (edited on 2018-07-17 14:12 (UTC) by mozo)

Yes, 396.24.10, my fault. Why you don't update this package to the actual version?

Det commented on 2018-07-17 13:33 (UTC)

396.24.10 you probably mean. Not extra/nvidia 396.24-10.

Also, as explained, converting this to a Vulkan package is as simple as changing the source link, pkgver, and building with --skipinteg or 'SKIP' in the md5sums.
