Linux 6.10 is upon us. Any try building against it to see if a further patch is needed? Not yet in the testing repo, but we can count on seeing it within the next 10 days or so. The changes for 6.10 do not look that significant, so no telling if it will require a patch (though better safe than stuck...)
So far this vague kernel patch (not driver patch) is all I've come up with: NVIDIA proprietary driver on 6.10-RC2 kernel build error
And one other referencing the same issue: 550.78 won't compile on 6.10-rc1 due to GPL violations No telling if these will impact the 390 build, but usually patches flow downhill.

Please don't flag this package out-of-date unless a new version has been released by NVIDIA.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