[arch-general] New nvidia drivers in testing
The new nvidia drivers have finally been released. They are in testing now for both architectures. I upload them completely untested, as my desktop is unaccessible until tomorrow. I dropped the libnvidia-wfb from the package, as it does the same as Xorg's libwfb and our xorg-server is sufficiently new (at least as far as I was told). Please report and working/non-working GPUs, I hope we can move this to extra soon.

Because i use more than one kernel package i stay with my scripts and install the nvidia driver even manualy. Thus i have the libnvidia-wfb.so and until now i recognized no problems. So i have two questions about it: 1. How can i test this lib? 2. Which xorg package offers this lib? Note to 2.: I see that on the packages search page the possibility to see the file list is gone. Will this come back or is there an alternative to do the same in the shell? See you, Attila

I wrote a small script to search for files in packages using Pierre's filelist repository at: http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo syntax is "pac-file (search|show|sync)" #!/bin/bash store="$HOME/.local/share/pac-file" # default location repos=(core extra community) a=$(uname -m) url="http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo" if [ -f $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf ];then . $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf fi case $1 in sync) echo "synchronising file cache" cd $store || exit 1 for i in ${repos[@]} do rm $i.files.tar.gz rm -rf $i; mkdir $i wget $url/$i/os/$a/$i.files.tar.gz || exit 1 tar zxf $i.files.tar.gz -C ./$i done echo "sync complete." ;; search) cd $store grep -R $2 . | sed "s/\.\/\(.*\)\/files:/\1 /g" ;; show) cd $store for i in ${repos[@]} do cat $i/$2*/files 2> /dev/null done ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {sync|search|show}" esac exit 0 -- Abhishek

Thanks for the hint about the filelist repository and the idea behind your script is very nice. I got this syntax error near unexpected token `sync' after running "pac-file sync" but i will take a longer look for it at the weekend. I changed only the place for "store" but this say the most users.-)) See you, Attila
