Subject: [gentoo-user] Understanding why portage wants to downgrade nvidia-cuda-sdk

1 Hello,
2
3 I'm particularly paranoid about my CUDA setup. I do not understand
4 CUDA except enough to declare that if my machine has CUDA 4.2
5 installed my life will be easy. This is because I compile software
6 that supposedly needs CUDA 4.2.
7
8 Can someone please translate the emerge -Dauv snip below into english for me?
9
10 My attempted translation: "portage is about to uninstall CUDA 4.2 and
11 replace it with CUDA 2.2 so enjoy your new life of misery sucker...
12 should've used OpenCL! Hahaha!"
13
14 I'll also post the top of dev-util/nvidia-cuda-sdk/ChangeLog
15
16 Thank you,
