hi before two days i ve upload to AUR this package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1567724 (not the same, the name is nvidia-total-beta). and ipsofact deleted by @gtmanfred with this message: "this is completely un necessary, please don't litter the aur with more trash"
well, i ve upload this package for the reason explain by @alucryd, need download up to 4 times the nvidia blob drivers for install dkms-nvidia-beta (was mine and left to use this package), nvidia-utils-beta, lib32-nvidia-utils-beta and lib32-libcl. everyone can use the package for your needs, that's what AUR, I think. the *-total* packages not add nothig in special like individual packages, only group in one some diferent packages for hel save several bandwidth/space and time i think can live with individual packages greetings pd: sorry my english 2013/1/25 Alexander Rødseth <rods...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > According to the AUR guidelines, it should be okay with several > packages for the same application, as long as they all provide > something different, like applying different patches etc. > > "Exception to this strict rule may only be packages having extra > features enabled and/or patches in compare to the official ones." - > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Submitting_packages_to_the_AUR > > If the *-total packages provide the same software, without any extra > features enabled and/or patches, perhaps they could be kept instead of > the old packages? > Are there reasons to keep the old nvidia packages, if they provide the > same content, instead of only having the *-total packages? > > -- > Sincerely, > Alexander Rødseth > xyproto / TU
