Acknowledged. Lets look to get this included into the next major release, for both el6 and el7. Are you using this daemon at present? I'm looking for some guidance on how we should implement it in the package. NVIDIA ship some sample startup scripts for SysV (el6) and systemd (el7). Do we attempt to configure these for users or leave it for the end user to configure? I'm guessing we probably want to try to configure startup of the daemon. So what user/group should the daemon run as? root or some other less privileged user? I'm thinking we should probably create a new user/group for this daemon (nvidia maybe?) rather than running it as root. So if you have the daemon running, or are able to get it running to test, I'd appreciate some feedback/input on the steps required and what you feel is appropriate. I can then translate that into the packaging requirements. |

Version 375.20 has just been released and includes nvidia-persistenced: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2016-November/003329.html Due to the quick release, I have just packaged the daemon binary, man page and documentation. I have not attempted to install or start it as a service. NVIDIA's example start-up scripts are shipped in: /usr/share/doc/nvidia-x11-drv-375.20/nvidia-persistenced-init.tar.bz2 |
