Opensuse Leap 16 and Nvidia 5070 = disaster

[csrinivas]

Got it. So, in current state, kmp package matches with sub packages, except a couple.

Delay is not an issue. But in such case, the kmp package or zypper should make sure that some dependency doesn’t get updated arbitrarily.

These kmp-drivers can (must not) work with older/newer kernels as they are build with.

The driver will then be “copied” to the old/new kernel directory (said in an simple way).
This is a normal feature in openSUSE such as using dkms on other distributions.

But I say can, not do…

I leave the driver management to smart heads. It can be a tightly locked kernel+kmp+dependecies, updating to a new version as one unit.

For now i locked these packages. To be safe, i downgraded the two updated packages, to keep all packages to 580.76.

The following 11 items are locked and will not be changed by any action:
