[arch-dev-public] Abandoning nvidia 340xx packages - does anyone want them?
I do not have any devices which require me to run nvidia 340xx packages and I haven't tested them for quite some time now. The most recent nvidia devices which require 340xx because the regular nvidia package dropped support for them are now 8-9 years old. I'm not really sure there is merit in maintaining these so unless anyone wants them I'll drop them to AUR in two weeks.

I still have at least one machine with one of those.

I can adopt it, if you plan on dropping them. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
My office PC has a NVIDIA GPU supported only by nvidia-340 drivers only.
I could help in maintaining the package or doing tests when needed.

I just orphaned them. You have to take lib32-nvidia-340xx-utils, nvidia-340xx-utils and nvidia-340xx. Enjoy and thanks! Your first task is to somehow make them build against kernel 4.15.

Going to adopt all of them. Do you plan on keep maintaining the -lts version? Jan mentioned that there is a patch for r8168 that I could try to adapt for the nvidia driver. Presuming it's the same issue. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
