We will jump to whatever will be the last beta prerelease/stable version in Rawhide (only) soon. Update for F-10 will appear at a later time. Update for F-9 aren't planned at all at this time. The question of updating the nVidia driver rise-up quite often. Previously, we've updated the driver quite soon as it was available, and it was put in the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repository. But we haven't received that much feedback; then it came to updates-stable (despite few exception) on new fedora kernel update. So we need to sort out how to have new driver been tested on one side, and how we can receive more feedback for a given testing version of the driver on the other side. Maybe that will lead to have a nvidia-bugreport.sh script like tools, or to setup bodhi for rpmfusion or to have a automatic report tools for bugzilla that use benchmarks from phoronix-test-suite (available in fedora), or even to constitute a team of "well known" rpmfusion binary driver testers... We are goind to fix one of the above issue hoppefully quite soon (this week) but other issues will have to be fixed in the longer term. Nicolas (kwizart)
