Hi Andreas,

thank you for the quick reply.
So the documentation say that it still is installed, and given that TVM depends on it to run, I'd think that it still is there at least until v11:
https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#major-component-descriptions
(search for version.txt)

Best regards

Thomas

thank you for maintaining the cuda packages!
We used to have /usr/lib/cuda/version.txt, but recently it was removed.
Would it be possible to bring it back?
The background is that some software likes to detect the version by
referencing the file (in my case Apache TVM).
Thank you for your consideration.

That file is no longer shipped by nvidia since they stopped shipping
documentation in 11.1. AFAICT it is also neither part of their .deb
packages for Ubuntu nor created by the .run installer scripts any more.

As I don't want to encourage software development that only works with
the Debian packaging of CUDA, but not with upstream's way of software
distribution, I'm not bringing version.txt back.

PS: IMO having version.txt was a good thing.
