Now it's 358-16 : ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-358.16.tar.bz2 1535 KB 17.11.2015 20:25:00 nvidia-settings-361.18 is now available, and it depends on x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers:0/361 And another newer version: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-364.12.tar.bz2 Personally, I don't see the point in the version bump. We are already moving in the direction of dropping nvidia-settings as a standalone package #562910, so bumping a package that is effectively on its way out seems like a waste of effort. Just my 2 cents. *** Bug 582488 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The main reason at the moment for keeping nvidia-settings around as a standalone package is that it always installs libXNVCtrl.a whereas nvidia-drivers will only install libXNVCtrl.a if USE="static-libs". Several packages, including sci-libs/vtk, depend on libXNVCtrl.a and only permit it to be provided through nvidia-settings. Hence, when nvidia-settings is not bumped one gets into a sticky situation with regards to unresolved dependencies. Please use x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools] instead. |
