Blender rpm still needs cuda to be installed

Ask Fedora
1

seems like cuda tools need to be installed manually to get cuda support for RPM blender. after today update nvidia issues fixed and openCL support is working on other apps and blender is now running, but wont detect cuda untill installing nvidia cuda tools/cuda

Just to clarify my understanding.
From rpmfusion the following packages are installed

$ dnf list --installed *cuda*
Installed packages
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda.x86_64      3:570.86.16-5.fc41 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs.i686   3:570.86.16-5.fc41 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs.x86_64 3:570.86.16-5.fc41 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

Are you saying this is not adequate for blender?

I don’t use blender so am asking for information only.

yes Darktable andd others are working with cuda and opencl etc, but Blender wont detect cuda unless installing cuda from nvidia/cuda-tools i seen similar thing on openSUSE

Workaround on this is just use Flatpak blender it has cuda and works as should.

Tho wierd is why bow days RPM has gotten these issues more

found that this one

Normally users do not need to install the CUDA toolkit as Blender comes with precompiled kernels.

would be nice that Blender rpm from fedora could get CUDA packages so no need to start installing nvidia tool-kit repos and packages there just for Blender since others like Darktable works out of the box
