Normally elrepo only releases the long term branch for Enterprise Linux, on the assumption EL users will welcome the implied stability over more frequent and potentially buggy releases.
In this case I had built the current short lived release as a user requested it for compatibility with the latest CUDA. However, as it is a short term branch release, it will stay in the testing repository indefinitely and will not be promoted to the main repository. Once it's been superseded by a subsequent long term branch release I will likely just delete it from the testing repo. That said, it should be fine to use (at your own risk).
Thanks,
I normally certainly prefer the stability of the long-lived releases. I noticed an update was just released of the long-lived release: 384.111. The notes for this release say:
Fixed a regression that prevented displays connected via some types of passive adapters (e.g. DMS-59 to VGA or DVI) from working correctly. The regression was introduced with driver version 384.98.
That sounds very much like my issue. I will verify next Monday if that solves it for me. Can I assume that new 384.111 release will make it into the main elrepo repository eventually?
