Re: [aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated
Didn't know it existed :) I've adapted the nvidia-all package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32908 and updated it for 304.60. I used your PKGBUILD from the nvidia-beta-all package but changed it slightly so that it doesn't build the module for the linux-mainline kernel. I'm currently maintaining the nvidia-mainline package and I think it's better to keep them seperate as the nvidia-mainline package regularly needs patching to compile against the mainline kernel.

Re: [aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated
Getting a bit off-topic here, but if it regularly needs patching take a look at the example patch given with nvidia-beta-all (PKGBUILD includes logic to include arbitrary patches if the names match from the srcdir).

Re: [aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated
I considered doing that but the package would need to be updated more often to allow for changes to patches and I think that would be an unnecessary inconvenience for anyone that is using nvidia-all but not using linux-mainline. It doesn't make a huge difference overall to me so I don't mind maintaining them as seperate packages.

Re: [aur-general] nvidia-ice needs to be updated
Shameless plug - why not just use nvidia-all (or nvidia-beta-all if that floats your boat). nvidea-X packages, where X is some custom kernel, tend to have very low usage since usage of X kernel to begin with is pretty low, and nvidia-X usage must be a subset of that.
