yum packaging nvidia driver

Overview

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

The main branch contains this README. The .spec, .conf, and .sh 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-driver
- nvidia-driver-cuda
- nvidia-driver-cuda-libs
- nvidia-driver-devel
- nvidia-driver-libs
- nvidia-driver-NvFBCOpenGL
- nvidia-driver-NVML

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
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-cuda
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-cuda-libs
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-devel
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-libs
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-NvFBCOpenGL
- nvidia-driver-latest-dkms-NVML

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
- nvidia-driver-latest-cuda
- nvidia-driver-latest-cuda-libs
- nvidia-driver-latest-devel
- nvidia-driver-latest-libs
- nvidia-driver-latest-NvFBCOpenGL
- nvidia-driver-latest-NVML

• RHEL7 flavor: branch-XXX

- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-cuda
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-cuda-libs
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-devel
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-libs
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-NvFBCOpenGL
- nvidia-driver-branch-XXX-NVML
