Well I just wanted to say thanks for doing this. It doesn't make sense to have two different ebuilds (kernel & glx) for one package. kernel & glx are essentially tied together by version anyways. nvidia-settings might be arguable, as it's not too very small (~1MiB) and not necessary for basic usage of the driver. >From a new-driver-version perspective it makes sense, if not from the new-kernel-version perspective. But really, you're talking about a few extra seconds to merge the glx portion (which doesn't need compiling), and it saves you from unpacking the ~11MiB driver file twice. --de. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
