Overview

Packaging templates for yum and dnf based Linux distros to build NVIDIA xconfig packages.

The main branch contains this README. The .spec and .patch files can be found in the appropriate rhel7, rhel8, and fedora branches.

Table of Contents

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

Prerequisites

Clone this git repository:

Supported branches: rhel7, rhel8 & fedora

git clone -b ${branch} https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-nvidia-xconfig
> ex: git clone -b rhel8 https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-nvidia-xconfig

Download a NVIDIA xconfig tarball:

Install build dependencies

# Compilation
yum install m4 gcc
# Packaging
yum install rpm-build

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

Building Manually

Packaging (dnf distros)

note: fedora & rhel8-based distros

mkdir BUILD BUILDROOT RPMS SRPMS SOURCES SPECS
cp *.patch SOURCES/
cp nvidia-xconfig-${version}.tar.gz SOURCES/
cp nvidia-xconfig.spec SPECS/

rpmbuild \
    --define "%_topdir $(pwd)" \
    --define "debug_package %{nil}" \
    --define "version $version" \
    --define "epoch 3" \
    --define "extension gz" \
    -v -bb SPECS/nvidia-xconfig.spec

Packaging (yum distros)

note: rhel7-based distros

mkdir BUILD BUILDROOT RPMS SRPMS SOURCES SPECS
cp *.patch SOURCES/
cp nvidia-xconfig-${version}.tar.gz SOURCES/
cp nvidia-xconfig.spec SPECS/
