Considering packaging for RPMFusion #1

Open sr229 opened 5 years ago

I think this tool is great for those who have optimus GPUs but it'll help a lot of people and it'll be more accessible if its on RPMFusion.

I will do some improvements this week. I'll try to pack it later. Thanks for the advice :)

So I've created .rpm package for release 0.1.1 and I'll be creating .rpm for any future release. I was trying to make a copr repo, but I'm too stupid to make it work. I'll be still trying, but I'll leave this issue open if someone would like to help.

Side note as RPM Fusion package maintainer and project coordinator. This package would be welcomed.

However, we prefer to rely on rd.driver.blacklist and modprobe.blacklist than a dedicated modprobe file. The reason is that it leaves the rootfs "stateless" and provides a better control of the wanted switch state (before the initramfs and without the need to recreate one after each switch).

In our side, the better way would be to create a separate boot entry with the configuration needed for FLOSS drivers (nvidia blacklisted).

It would be much better solution. I'll try to implement that.
