I try to upgrade kmod-nvidia from elrepo. Anyone got any good explanations as to why they'd put kmod-nvidia-310.40 in the repo, with the previous version not obvious... AND NOT HAVE THE *REQUIRED* nvidia-x11-drv-310.40 in there? Why not wait until both pieces could be uploaded, since kmod-nividia WILL NOT INSTALL without the other...?

Also, is dkms coming in, or deprecated?
None of those modules are in CentOS, but a 3rd party repo.
That's fine. I found it annoying, but was trying to figure out whether to set that up with the proprietary driver or not. Thanks.
How about you test your setup and how 3rd party repos interact with it ... THEN ask on the 3rd party repo's own mailing list how or why their packages no longer work with the update?
I'd Have Been Glad To Test First... but read the first para, above....
Actually, also, I note that this does *not* happen with CentOS base; I just can't imagine why someone would do something that stupid as elrepo seems to have.
