Deliverables

This repo contains the .spec file used to build the following RPM packages:

note: XXX is the first . delimited field in the driver version, ex: 460 in 460.32.03

RHEL8 or Fedora streams: XXX, XXX-dkms, latest, and latest-dkms

nvidia-xconfig

For RHEL7 and derivatives, there are three sets of packages with different package dependencies.

The latest and latest-dkms flavors always update to the highest versioned driver, while the branch-XXX flavor locks driver updates to the specified driver branch.

RHEL7 flavor: latest-dkms

nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-xconfig

note: XXX-dkms is not supported for RHEL7

To use the precompiled flavors latest and branch-XXX, use yum-packaging-precompiled-kmod to build kmod-nvidia-latest or kmod-nvidia-branch-XXX kernel modules for a specific kernel and driver combination.

RHEL7 flavor: latest

nvidia-driver-latest-xconfig

RHEL7 flavor: branch-XXX

nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-xconfig

Building with script

Fetch script from `main` branch

cd yum-packaging-nvidia-persistenced
git checkout remotes/origin/main -- build.sh

Usage

./build.sh [$version | path/to/*.tar.{gz,bz2} | path/to/*.run]
> ex: time ./build.sh 460.32.03
> ex: time ./build.sh ~/Downloads/nvidia-xconfig-450.102.04.tar.bz2
> ex: time ./build.sh ~/Downloads/nvidia-xconfig-460.32.03.tar.gz
> ex: time ./build.sh ~/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-450.102.04.run

note: runfile is only used to determine version
