Just filing to explain the hold up, NVIDIA seems to be taking longer than usual to upload files to the usual mirror[1]. While we can still get the .run elsewhere[2], that lacks the sources for nvidia-settings/modprobe/etc... When this happen sometime instead used the github's tags[3] but it is (currently) not tagged either. Similarly to the 0/vulkan slot, *could* try to temporarily use mismatched old version of nvidia-* sources (sometimes fine), or switch back to binary-only for these (albeit nvidia-modprobe would lack a patch then) -- but would rather wait a while before doing changing things up. (if someone knows an alternate location to find e.g. nvidia-settings-550.54.14.tar.bz2, please tell me) On another note, 535.161.07 been marked BETA but that is likely a mistake. This should just be a minor bugfix release to the production branch (maybe someone other than usual handled these releases).

(In reply to Ionen Wolkens from comment #0) > it is (currently) not tagged either. Correction, it is just 550.54.14 that's missing -- suppose could bump the other two but still will wait a bit in the hope get the usual location instead.
Hi, before I stumbled upon this bug, I made a local copy from nvidia-drivers-550.40.07.ebuild to nvidia-drivers-550.54.14.ebuild and ebuild fetch downloaded the files from mirror 1. Seems the files are on Nvidia's servers but don't show up on the HTML index...? nvidia-drivers-470.223.02-gpl-pfn_valid.patch failed so I removed it from the new local 550.54.14 version's ebuild, got it to compile and qmerge. Modules modprobe fine. 3D acceleration works under X KDE Plasma. I have no idea if this patch is still needed. At least it needs modification. Here is the log bit from ebuild configure: * Applying nvidia-drivers-470.223.02-gpl-pfn_valid.patch ... patching file kernel/common/inc/nv-linux.h Hunk #1 succeeded at 2076 (offset 86 lines). patching file kernel/nvidia/nv-mmap.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 576. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file kernel/nvidia/nv-mmap.c.rej patching file kernel/nvidia/os-mlock.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 102.

Oh really, I hadn't tried given I always look at the index, well then I'll look at bumping this soon then. And yes, the pfn_valid patch is obsolete (this got fixed in these releases).

Interestingly, right after adding, the index was finally updated. Guess it was cached or something anyhow, usually it's updated almost right away unless the files were really missing though -- ah well.
