Add *-devel versions of nvidia drivers
These ports provides supports for New Feature Branch (NFB) of upstream
nvidia drivers like existing legacy branches of ports.
In some cases, supports for cutting edge GPUs are provided via
NFB of driver packages or Beta branch of drivers.
As Beta Branch of drivers cannot be recommended widely, we decided to
add support for NFB as *-devel version.
This new *-devel versions tracks the latest non-Beta versions
regardless it's NFB or Production Branch of drivers.
This is because, in some cases, major version of Production Branch
of drivers are bumped to larger than the one for corresponding
NFB.
So depending on the timing, *-devel 100% matches non-devel
master ports except for its package name.
Our upgrading policies are:
- Start investigating whether some additional works are needed to build/install/run or not when new Beta is found to be released upstream.
- If any additional works were needed and done, upgrade master ports below without updating version nor PORTREVISION of master ports below.
x11/nvidia-driver x11/linux-nvidia-libs graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod
and as needed, graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod/Makefile.common would be updated, too. - Once findng new NFB is released upstream, bump versions of *-devel. Step 2 would "usually" ease this work unless Beta is skipped or last-minutes breaking changes are introduced.
- Once finding new Production Branch is released upstream, bump versions of master ports.
- Once finding any of Legacy Branch of driver is released upstream, upgrade corresponding legacy ports. This could need some additional work, because updated version could incorporate patches from our ports.
Note that graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod does NOT support any of
exisiting legacy versions, as they don't yet have codes to
support these ports.
