[aur-requests] [PRQ#32958] Deletion Request for nvidia-vulkan

[notify at aur.archlinux.org]

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-vulkan [2]:

NVIDIA Vulkan 1.3 beta program seems to have been ended.
NVIDIA has merged (mainstreamed) its Vulkan 1.3 development branch to
its general release driver:

Last beta with Vulkan 1.3:
v470.62.22 (2022-01-25)

Last general release driver with Vulkan 1.3:
v510.54 (2022-02-14)

Preceding (v510.47.03) release notes announcing general availability
of Vulkan 1.3 support:
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-solaris-and-freebsd-
driver-510-47-03-production-branch-release/202217/3

There is no further need for "nvidia-vulkan" packages. All NVIDIA
drivers from now on will be based on Vulkan.

Stable NVIDIA drivers with Vulkan 1.3 are in Arch repos.

Meanwhile, AUR carries NVIDIA beta driver packages supporting Vulkan
1.3,
maintained by Arch Linux developer @dbermond:

- nvidia-beta:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-beta

- nvidia-beta-dkms:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-beta-dkms

- nvidia-utils-beta, opencl-nvidia-beta, nvidia-settings-beta:
https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/nvidia-utils-beta

- lib32-nvidia-utils-beta, lib32-opencl-nvidia-beta:
https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/lib32-nvidia-utils-beta

Therefore I suggest there is no further need to keep this nvidia-
vulkan package base, as it has become obsolete by upstream changes.
