nvidia-x11: rewrite build #13950
nvidia-x11: rewrite build #13950
Conversation
+ Support for version 361+
- NVIDIA has added experimental support for EGL, bringing wayland
support closer
- Support for NVIDIA's new GLVND libraries
+ Fix i686 support (for whatever thats worth)
- Cuda UVM is only supported on x86_64 for 346+
+ Fix kernel modules for some platforms & versions
+ Use the long-lived driver as the default
- Previously it was unclear what the practice is for the default.
+ Add long-lived, short-lived, beta, vulkan drivers
- Available as "nvidia/nvidiaLongLived", "nvidiaShortLived",
"nvidiaBeta", & "nvidiaVulkan" in services.xserver.videoDrivers
+ Remove support for 173.xx
- This driver branch requires a version of xorg-server that is no longer
supported in nixpkgs.
+ Fix patchelf allowing --shrink-rpath to be used
+ Install everything explicitly to catch build failures due to changes
+ Cleanup shared object version symlinking, *.so*
+ Cuda fixes
- Add missing cuda executables, libraries and manpages
+ GTK+3 support and used by default (GTK+3 is supported for 346+)
- nvidia-settings now works correctly on high dpi displays
+ Add additional separation of kernelspace and userspace to fix packaging of
packages building against the nvidia-drivers. This is currently imcomplete,
but the ground work for doing so is complete.
+ Add a consistent source unpack method
+ Add nvidia default application profiles
+ Add better documentation to builder
+ Add X.Org driver config
+ Add NVIDIA ICD config
+ Cleanup buildinputs (add missing deps & remove unused)

We should patch out the "triton" strings, I think... but I only skimmed all this for now. I'll try to do a better review later today or tomorrow, unless someone beats me. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Please don't do this, it's unnecessarily verbose.

I'm concerned about the maintainability of a nearly 600-line build script, which is nearly quadruple the size of the previous builder.sh. Where does that increase come from? GTK+3 is still not the default in Nixpkgs, so I don't think programs should use it if they can also use GTK+2, in order not to end up with multiple versions of GTK+3 in the system closure.

|
@edolstra lol, in 2016 you still prefer gtk2 as the default, have fun with that |
|
I see this won't be as easy as I hoped, so I reverted that update for now to avoid crashes until we find a working and "acceptable" solution. |

changes in 364.12 beta: triton/triton@acc4ffa |
|
@vcunat does nvidia work now on 16.03 without this PR? |
|
Yes, as I posted, for now I had reverted the branches to 358.16, as that version worked reliably and it really isn't that old. |
|
Sounds like the issue got solved some other way, closing. |

After taking a quick look at the current build I didn't want to decipher what is broken and what isn't. This is basically copied verbatim from my build in https://github.com/triton/triton/tree/master/pkgs/all-pkgs/nvidia-drivers, so it contain fixes for all branches and platforms. I don't currently have a system to test this on, but I believe I fixed all attribute names so that it should just work within nixpkgs.
