# The Terra NVIDIA Driver tree
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the Terra distribution of NVIDIA drivers.
|
|
|
|
These driver packages are based on negativo17's NVIDIA driver packages for Fedora, with very slight modifications for hardware compatibility, and conforming to the Terra packaging guidelines.
|
|
|
|
Unlike negativo17 and Nobara, we do not manually generate a tarball of the NVIDIA drivers, but directly generate them
|
|
on-the-fly from the NVIDIA installer. This ensures that the packages can be easily maintained and updated, as long as the
|
|
self-extracting NVIDIA installer still has the same command-line options.
|
|
|
|
## How Terra unpacks the self-extracting archive
|
|
|
|
Instead of pre-generating the tarball, we run the NVIDIA installer with the `-x` flag to extract the contents directly to the build directory. We then make use of an RPM macro to set the new build directory as that tree.
|
|
|
|
```rpmspec
|
|
Source0: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-%{_arch}/%{version}/NVIDIA-Linux-%{_arch}-%{version}.run
|
|
|
|
|
|
... skip to the %prep section ...
|
|
|
|
%prep
|
|
sh %{SOURCE0} -x --target nvidia-driver-%{version}
|
|
%setup -T -D -n nvidia-driver-%{version}
|
|
|
|
%build
|
|
|
|
... Build the package as usual ...
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is simpler than manually generating the tarball, but comes with a slight cost of having to download the NVIDIA installer every time we build any package that relies on that archive.
|
