Hello there!

We are (at RPM Fusion) currently heading an experimentation about using pre-built kmod for nvidia-open (starting with 590xx driver, which allows to nvidia-open for all cases).

This will replace needing to use akmods to build the driver?
How will secure boot signing be handled?

There are some possibilities to handle secure boot signed pre-built kmod.

This just requires resources so it can be worked on …

Also this will avoid to use akmod (and the related compiler and kernel-devel etc) on end-users systems

Thanks for working on this.
It should reduce the support load here for NVIDIA end-users.

This would need to be automated or done by someone else as I’m not willing to spare any of my freetime building for the relentless stream of kernel updates.

Maybe automated on the install of the RPM?
Run a script that signs the kmod using the user already installed SB key?
