I even cleaned up the spec file and ran it through rpmlint, although there's one outstanding error that I'm at a loss what to do with: "obsolete-not-provided NVIDIA_kernel" The thing is, that's the whole *point* isn't it? "kernel-module-nvidia-driver" is the *new* name of the package which obsoletes the *old* "NVIDIA_kernel" package. I don't get it. How can you change the name of a package which obsoletes an older version, but still *provide* the old version? I need another coffee :) Anyway, I'll up it to the repo later today. It will be in the unstable section, and called: nvidia-driver-1.0.4620-0.fdr.11.1.src.rpm kernel-module-nvidia-driver-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl-1.0.4620-0.fdr.11.1.i386.rpm nvidia-glx-1.0.4620-0.fdr.11.1.i386.rpm Other changes: rpmlint complained about the kernel-module RPM not having any docs, so I included a README.beta. Another complaint was that "NVidia Software License" is not a valid license. I wasn't too sure about that, but I changed it to "Commercial" anyway. If that's wrong, let me know and I'll change it again. Anyway, it seemed to shut rpmlint up. Also, apparently the "cp" command in any %post scripts is (quote) "dangerous". Yeah, if you say so. Changed it to cat > file, since it was just a configuration file. Apart from the fact it's a new beta, there's also a new tool "nvidia-settings" which mimics the NVidia section of the Windoze Display Properties control panel. Hmmm, yes well. That's included in the RPM too. Keith.
