NVIDIA kernel module common files packaging for RHEL

yum packaging nvidia kmod common

Overview

Packaging templates for yum and dnf based Linux distros providing common configuration files for NVIDIA driver packages.

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

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-kmod-common-${driver}-${rel}.${distro}.noarch.rpm
> ex: nvidia-kmod-common-460.32.03-1.el8.noarch.rpm

• RHEL7 flavors: branch-XXX, latest, and latest-dkms

nvidia-kmod-common-${driver}-${rel}.${distro}.${arch}.rpm
> ex: nvidia-kmod-common-460.32.03-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

• These common files include:

  - /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/99-nvidia.conf
  - /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
  - /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-nvidia.rules

Prerequisites

Clone this git repository:

Supported branches: rhel7, rhel8 & fedora

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

Install build dependencies

# Packaging
yum install rpm-build

Building with script

Fetch script from main branch

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

Usage

note: runfile is only used to determine version

./build.sh [$version | path/to/*.run]
> ex: time ./build.sh 450.102.04
> ex: time ./build.sh ~/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-450.102.04.run

Building Manually

Packaging

mkdir BUILD BUILDROOT RPMS SRPMS SOURCES SPECS
cp 60-nvidia.rules SOURCES/
cp 99-nvidia.conf SOURCES/
cp nvidia.conf SOURCES/
cp nvidia-kmod-common.spec SPECS/

rpmbuild \
    --define "%_topdir $(pwd)" \
    --define "debug_package %{nil}" \
    --define "version $version" \
    --define "epoch 3" \
    --target "noarch" \
    -v -bb SPECS/nvidia-kmod-common.spec

note: noarch as only text files, works for any architecture
