I just installed rhel5 and wanted to get the nvidia driver for it (akmod

I'm also interested in getting at least a status on this. What is
holding back the availability of kmod/akmod for EL ? No decision on
kmod/akmod itself yet or lack of interested maintainer ?
*If* we want to have akmods in the EL-5 branch then kmodtool and some
other tools need adjustments to properly support EL-5. I haven't worked
on those because (a) I haven't found time (b) the EL repo in RPM Fusion
seems completely stuck.
Yes, a lot of packages are in the testing repos and we have a few
maintainers that are willing to support the EL branch. But nobody really
feels responsible for it as a whole and wants to acts as release manager
afaics (¹). Announcing the repo officially without such a person IMHO
would be bad, as such a repo from my experience really is needed for a
healthy and hopefully growing repo.

(¹) a few people replied to

but nobody really said "yet, I want to do it" in a proper, enthusiastic
manner.
