issues: |
| 9 |
- people rebuild nvidia-kernel when they upgrade/change their kernel |
| 10 |
version; rebuilding the other packages in this case is pointless |
| 11 |
- nvidia-kernel/nvidia-glx may be released in parallel, but |
| 12 |
the nvidia-settings package is not last i checked (never even heard |
| 13 |
of nvidia-xconfig) ... whats the point in unifying things when they |
| 14 |
arent the same version ... you'll hit the same issue as above, if |
| 15 |
a new version of nvidia-settings is put out, people will have to |
| 16 |
pointlessly rebuild the other nvidia packages |
