Would it be possible to simultaneously update and stabilize nvidia-settings and nvidia-drivers? Perhaps by the same maintainer or a combined ebuild like suggested in Bug 562910. Are there any reasons against a stabilization of this package? Arch teams, please stabilize =media-video/nvidia-settings-355.11. >Would it be possible to simultaneously update and stabilize nvidia-settings and nvidia-drivers? >Perhaps by the same maintainer or a combined ebuild like suggested in Bug 562910. It's somewhat difficult to work with the/some nvidia-drivers maintainer. They actually don't want a separate nvidia-settings package and they actually prefer it to not exist at all anymore. x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-355.11-r2 (which is "stable") seems to depend on media-video/nvidia-settings-355.11 (which is "testing").

CC back amd64 when bug 568334 is resolved *** Bug 574552 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 577688 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can all this situation be clarified a bit? It seems current stable exposes people to blockers. It seems that nvidia-settings is going to be dropped but, until that is done, a fixed version should be stabilized. Maybe 358.16? Thanks (In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #10) > Can all this situation be clarified a bit? I have removed nvidia-settings package from my systems since the latest stable nvidia-drivers (361.28) are building nvidia-settings from source when +tools is set. So I don't need the nvidia-settings package anymore.

It would have been easier if you provided versions of nvidia-settings for each supported branch of nvidia-drivers, but that never happened. So how was I being difficult? The difficulty was in the impossibility of using different branches of nvidia-drivers and -settings on the same system, and nvidia-settings maintainers never did anything to fix that problem. |
